Engine Oil Drain

[buzpro]

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!

Here it is the location of the oil drain plug on the 2.7L engine…

Be prepared when that yellow plug come out (1/4-turn) it will empty the pan in about 5 seconds.

I wonder if we can replace it with a Fumoto valve?

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.

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-factory

That looks sharp. We will need to contact them when the Broncos come in for fitment and a part number. Thanks

The Bronco uses the same 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?

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.

Full disclosure: I have no clue what models other than Squatch/BD/BL/WT have factory bash plates, if you've got some base or OBX on order for the on-road lifestyle then it's probably a very easy oil change with about 2 tools needed, plus half a beer.

well, if its similar to the FX4 then a Ronin plug or similar is almost a necessity. (after the first free oil change)

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.
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.
