Yeah, this is possible too but every hard to do. I had to use two inspection mirror to help align the socket with the bolt

If you remove the stock air box lid, you can get at the oil filter from above as well. This with the Fumoto and you don't even need a jack or stands. Just a shallow pan.

Thats what I do. didn't even try to remove lid or see that it will help.

Ive also read some posts about Fumoto not being reliable while autocrossing so Im not looking that direction.

I drive up on two 2x8 pieces of wood. That raises the car high enough to get my jack under, and it likely makes it high enough to reach the drain plug with a wrench.

I just bought JS2K's valve drain plug. I'm hoping to never jack the car for oil again. (after I install the plug of course)
