Oil Pan Clearance

[number9]

Hey guys, what's the clearance between the ground and the oil pan? I am looking at what size drain pan to get for changing the oil.

Two 5 gallon buckets work fine. Drain the rear sump first, get the second bucket and drain the front.

What Will said. Then pour into fuel tank.

It seems when I change mine its allways windy. Oil goes all over the place.

I was thinking of getting one of these today..........

New 20 Gallon Poly Tub 20" diameter X 14" height

I plan to burn the used motor oil. I just got to read up and learn how much you have to filter it, etc.

Unless the oil is grossly contaminated you can just run it through a couple layers of blue jeans ( I use the legs, tied off) and pour it in the tank.

When I cange oil in the civy vehicles I have been known to pour it straight in.
