So I did my first oil/filter change on my new-to-me 2011 GT. I was use to doing them on my 2005 for the last 8 years; this was a whole other thing. Followed the DIY and even jacked the back of the car higher than the front. The warm oil just kept draining for a good 20 minutes!
My question is, given the robust nature of the sump guard, is it a structural panel that requires those 7 bolts to be torqued to a certain spec?
