oil change w/x brace

Grab the filter from the top...it's how I always do it. The only reason to lift the car is to get under it enough to access the drain plug. I just unscrew the filter, turn it over to drain some of the oil out and then lift it through the top. It's a little complicated by the STB, but not difficult...

I attempted to change mine with the brace on.... i just jack up one side of the car (passenger) to reach the oil plug, then lower it to let it drain.... then raise it a small amount to get the plug back in.....
of course the oil pooled into the X-brace then ran down the brace and dripped on my garage floor...not a bunch, but...
I did have to remove my strut tie bar unless i wanted to drop the filter down which would have created more messes.
Next time I will just take it to jiffy lube and let them spill oil all over my entire engine..
