Is the purpose of this so the oil doesn't drain all over the place. How would that help if *2 is on top?

If I remember correctly there is a rib that will cause the oil to stick to and drain from the rib as opposed to running from one side then the other. Not real important, just neater, less mess. I believe there are two ribs, 180 deg from each other
Of course I have been wrong before.

You are correct, there are two drain slots as shown in Ken's drawing (*2), they seem to do the job and most of the oil comes out of the cap when you locate one of them at the bottom. As it says, the cap needs to be loosened 4 turns before it can drain.

We can see the drain slot on the screw thread of the cap from the John's document page-12.

Best price?

Hi,

Got my filter from 'One Stop Auto'

You need to go to a full service auto parts store (NAPA / etc) - they needed to look it up on there computer and get me the filter.

The o-ring is included with the filter (you may want to verfiy)

Check you my Standard work - step by step change procedure including pictures if you are interested.

Also - I use Mobile 1 ..... second to none for overall performance and results.

I hope this helps - Bill

(wrenches - 64mm for the filter and 17 mm for the oil pan)
