Fortunately, that motor is ridiculously easy to work on and there is a LOT of room in the engine bay compared to the V8. It's a good motor to learn on. I don't think it would be an issue at all. The pan isn't THAT low to the ground. Cheers,

I'll be going to my son's this weekend to "help him" with some car repairs.



He bought a Mustang awhile back ('98 V6-232 3.8). I've helped with a couple of repairs on it, but I'm not real familiar with it and he's not much of a mechanic, but he's slowly catching on.



Anyway, one of the things we'll be doing is changing the oil. No big deal, except I'd like to put a Fumoto drain valve on the thing to simplify this in the future. But if I remember, the Mustang is pretty low to the ground. While the fumoto works well on most cars (including my two low to the ground Toyotas), there are a few rigs where it's better not to tempt fate.



I can buy the valve locally, but probably not where he lives, so I'd rather know before I go.



Anyone have any ideas?
