Yea, i've read they take forever to drain. I am in no rush though. It's an oil change. Takes me a half hr to get all the bolts off the undertray anyways. Another half hr to drain the pan won't kill me. And i won't get oil seeping down my arms when the drain bolt flies off and into the oil pan every single freaking time. haha

meh, i think my tint/clearbra guy flaked out on me. will drive slow anyways while i break in the car, i'll just do the xpel on my own and let my usual tint guy do the windows later.

Zspeed undertray is slightly teasing me, but I hear it usually leaks since the opening isn't big enough to let all the oil out.

yah, i suppose it can be a conversation piece. i usually let the oil drip with the factory plug for 30min.. so with the fumoto valve might take like an hr

yep especially if there is any wind it might get on the opening and drip elsewhere. i was thinking about getting one for my G when i ran over a hubcap a few yrs ago. luckily i was able to fix it and continued using the plastic factory one.

What's this 4 bolt thing for the OEM shroud? I had to remove all the bolts to access the oil pan last year.

people bungee cord the shroud back to allow enough space to work on it. i dont bother with it and remove the whole thing. i do visual inspections while doing the oil change anyway.

The fact that a 7 year old car can still sell for over $20k says a lot. A 2009 Moostang GT with over 40k miles goes for $23k. A base model is under $13k.
