Default Re: Oil filter change on 3.0 V6

If you change it that hot you're gonna burn you hands taking the drain plug out, unless you got one of those fancy, just turn the valve an let it run. Also a hot filter isn't going to be any kind of nice to handle, weather its in a good place or not. I let mine cool enough that the manifold doesn't burn my arm, and from the top, a piece of cardboard under the truck keeps spilled oil off the floor.
