Has anybody taken any pictures of access to the oil drain valve? I've been to two events and I forgot to do it both times!

I wonder if we can replace it with a Fumoto valve?Be prepared when that yellow plug come out (1/4-turn) it will empty the pan in about 5 seconds.
I have been wondering if there is a skid plate to remove that protects it? I know even my Charger has a plastic weather protection (water) plate that needs to be removed to get access to the drain plug.Has anybody taken any pictures of access to the oil drain valve?

There are a couple of options out that work well. I am using the Ronin on my Raptor. https://roninfactory.com/products/ford-f150-raptor-oil-drain-ronin-factoryI wonder if we can replace it with a Fumoto valve?
That looks sharp. We will need to contact them when the Broncos come in for fitment and a part number. ThanksThere are a couple of options out that work well. I am using the Ronin on my Raptor. https://roninfactory.com/products/ford-f150-raptor-oil-drain-ronin-factory
The Bronco uses the same plug.That looks sharp. We will need to contact them when the Broncos come in for fitment and a part number. Thanks
the picture is good but i was looking for a picture of access in the car! I want to see how to get to it. Is it the same as the Ranger?Here it is the location of the oil drain plug on the 2.7L engine…

will be nearly the same as Ranger FX4. If you've already got the FX4 then you'll be used to removing a bash plate for full access to the drain plug.the picture is good but i was looking for a picture of access in the car! I want to see how to get to it. Is it the same as the Ranger?
aaaaaah the friggin skid plate!On the 2.3 the skid plate is in the way, but the oil filter is easily accessed through the driver front wheel well.
I'm not complaining, just reporting.aaaaaah the friggin skid plate!
that's a great idea .... would love to see what you come up withI'm not complaining, just reporting.
Well I've seen other vehicles with skid plates have trap doors and port holes for ease of access. I might be inclined to create my own and weld in some reinforcements to the potentially compromised point of penetration.
