Hey LML g= ang,

I wish we=E2= =80=99d noticed the close fit with the Legacy=E2=80=99s IO-550 oil drain and= the landing gear fittings before our engine was put on the engine mount. For people with the stock setup, how do you drain the oil without m= aking a mess?

Mahar in Ohio will modify your oil drai= n nut with this 45 degree spout that gets around the interference =E2=80=93 s= ee photo below.

But, if there=E2=80=99s a good, easy way to cle= anly get the oil out without going to all this trouble, we=E2=80=99d go that= path rather than get our engine off its mounts to screw the modified oil dr= ain nut on=E2=80=A6

Thanks,
