I know there is a DIY oil change sticky but there are 50+ pages so I had a question...

I know there is the smaller access door where the plug and filter is so instead of taking the whole under plastic piece off for an oil change, could you find a fitting with 1 side the same thread as your oil pan and the other side would be a barb style for a hose to hook up to it and then have a small valve with the same size hose hook up...that way you could just access through the small panel grab the little hose point it at your oil catch and all would be good?

if so could you let me know the parts you used and where you got them to do this?

again is someone has posted this I apologize maybe you could provide a link...thanks

I have only changed my oil once so far so I am not super familiar with how practical any of this would be...not sure if you can still access the oil filter through this access door so maybe that is the reasoning for taking the whole plastic piece off?
