Just a wash and wax.
No biggie.
But last week I did my first oil change.......
Before I forget, fuck you Ford......
The oil filter was not the correct one, (I bought the car used from a tiny dealership in bumfuck Ohio), and I didn't have the correct size cup style filter wrench in stock.
But the oil change gods were watching over me, when I managed to barely fit just my bare hand up thru the trap door and around the wiring and in between the supoorts, and was able to unscrew the filter by hand.
Of course I was on my back in the dirt when the oil from the filter went everywhere.
Did I mention fuck you Ford?
Anyway, I'd watched enough YouTube videos to know that the oil pan, as it gets to a trickle, defies gravity and flows up hill and all into the belly pan.
So in preparation I took some tin snips and cut a chunk out of it right where the drain plug is located.
That worked swimmingly.

Pulled my winter all season tires/wheels off apex ec7 275/40/19 square. Put factory tires/wheels back on. Bottom of front goes from 6 and 3/4 inch to 6 and 3/8th inch. That tiny bit makes a big difference in how fast i can get out my driveway.
Also got my 24 inch fan out for the summer.
