Btw... if your worried about oil spilling out under the belly pan when changing your oil... do what I do... I took a "tetra package"(boxed ice tea) and cut the box to make a little baffle to deflect anu oil when it shoots out of the oil sump - when you remove the drain plug. Works like a charm.
Yep, already bought the magnetic drain plug per your thread
Yeah, I hate oil spills and the N54 design doesn't make it easy. Good idea...will do with the box cut out, or I will buy the form a funnel and do the same. Thx.
