After letting the oil drain completely from the engine overnight, I pulled the oil filter and oil screen. I really need to figure out a less messy way to pull the filter as I spent more time cleaning up spilled oil than actually removing the filter.
I also pulled the drain cap off of the low point at the oil cooler. I captured some of this in a cup to get an idea how much oil is in here. I’m guessing it’s at least half a quart.
Here’s the oil screen. I’ve heard it’s not uncommon to find some carbon particles in here, but mine was clean as a whistle.
I reinstalled the screen with a new crush washer and safety wired it shut. I’m really happy with how easy it is to access all of the parts of the engine necessary for an oil change.
