Changing the oil
In one of the doddge diesel mags there was a good writeup on oil filters some time ago. They said that the Fleetgaurd ( what is there numbering system ?) LF-3894 is the stratapour filter because of the medium that they use is better for trapping particles? If you wait a short time before you change the filter is will syphone ( spelling probably incorrect) down and then you don't spill any oil out of the filter. The 1300 series is a non syn oil I think. For a container to use I cut the top off just at the last horizontal support making it just above the handle for the 20 liter pail. Works well just have to wangle it a little bit to get it out. Wipe your oil filter base well and preoil you o-ring before you reinstall the mostly fillled oil filter.
Great idea; much better than the sacks that I had been using and just the right size.
If you can get to that filter without removing that big hose, then you must be the "rubberman".
I've never had to remove theintake to get at the oil filter..but i am skinny and have long, puny arms...
