Oil Pan Add On

[CES 3245th]

I thought I would take this opportunity to share a couple of upgrades that I did that you might find useful. I changed my oil a couple of days ago using this new device that I had installed from the last time of draining my oil. Using this EZ oil valve drain w/ 90° elbow worked awesome! I also installed a new oil filter set up. What I also did was to discard the (3) nuts on the underside of the truck frame. I installed (3) 3/8-16 Steel Rivet Nuts To remove the diamond plate and gain easier access to the oil filter for removal and installation. Please see attached pictures. I think some of you will find this very useful I know I did.

1984 M923A1 5 Ton W/NHC-250 Motor..... Picked up these parts from FleetPride EZ Oil Drain valve 25MM-1.5 part # 6802 EZ5 $33.57 / L-Shaped Hose Nipple 5/8" ID part # 6802 EZ-L002 $10.75
In my opinion this was an excellent upgrade and well worth the money.

Are you talking a M939 5-ton series truck? That seems to be a M923A1 5-ton with a NHC 250 motor, right?

I can appreciate that upgrade, getting extra clearance around the oil filter. Oil changes are kinda like a monkey @&%#¥£€ a football if you know what I mean

SLOrazorsedge I totally agree with you! This was definitely a good investment and upgrade for me I'm totally pleased with it and especially making the diamond plate removable. Because removing that oil filter with that plate being there would definitely be like a monkey @#$%^&#$%&* football! The next oil and filter change will be a breeze with this upgrade!

I put one of these on my 6.7 Cummins man makes changing the oil easy!
