Been doing lots of maintenance to the ST now that I have once again decided to keep it another year, its been such a great vehicle. I want to do a pan drop, filter change. I am going to install a drain as suggested in the projects section. This may be a weird question but would it be safe to drill the hole in the bottom of the pan first thing and let the fluid drain out that way before removing the pan. My understanding is that the fluid is not all that flammable. Maybe its a dumb idea just trying to save a little bit of mess thats all, the last time I did it I got fluid everywhere. Also considering doing pan drop filter change, install drain, and then a week later or so, drain the fluid and refill to change out more of the oil fluid. Is it worth the extra cost in fluid?
