The oil capacity of my truck exceeds that of my oil pan--considerably.

Tomorrow I will learn whether a 15 degree nozzle on a 4k psi washer can remove oil stains.

Also I learned that the oil filter placement on a 5.4 Ford motor was chosen by either service managers to deter self maintenance, or by satan, in order to steal my soul.

At this point, both may have been successful.

Once the 5 minute oil change facilities started popping up that allow the driver to stay in his or her vehicle coupled with the price of a quart of oil these days, self oil changes are extinct in my world. The comfort of changing my own oil is offset by the digital database in both vehicles that would tell me immediately upon leaving a facility if there was an issue.

Plus, I'd have episodes such as yours each and every time if I did it myself.

Just out of reach from the top and blocked from the bottom. I did it once when I had a 5.4L and that was all it took for me to figure that one out.

Yup...your soul is gone. Mine was gone when I changed the spark plugs on my old 5.4. What a sunnuvabitch.

It's not gonna make any difference what degree orifice you use on the PW. Hot water & chemicals will be your best bet. Then lay 12% pool chlorine to it and let the sun and bleach work its wonders.
