right, sort of misread your previous comment. I guess siphoning it out of the OFH is your best bet? or just filling to the proper level to begin with? haha

lol yea. i just think siphoning out of the housing and dropping in a new filter is much easier than trying to control the oil dumping out of the pan. every time i've changed the oil, it goes from weeping oil around the threads to 100% flow pretty damn fast and dumps faster than i could imagine trying to get the plug threaded back in after dumping 1/2 quart. there would be oil everywhere and running down your arm.
