Bingo! Removed it this last weekend and the other gasket came right on top of the other.

You can bet that's a $45 (8 quart) mistake I'll never make again. Thanks for the input.

I have the 2016 Craz too and can't find the pan hose. Where is it located/attached? Thanks in advance.

Port side. About same height as spark plugs. It's clipped to a black mount.would be difficult to miss

When I said port, I meant to say starboard. Sorry!

This question has been asked but today I did my oil change and was only able to extract 6 qts with my vacuum extractor? After the difficulty I had last year I purchased an extra long tube which definitely hit the bottom of the oil pan. Last year I tried the drain tube out the transom and as others have noted I only got a quart or so from there.

FYI... Walmart has the Motorcraft 5W30 semi-synthetic oil that is recommend for the Raptor motor. It was about $19 for 5gal.

Do you have a large spin on filter? That could hold nearly a quart.

Are you running the engine up to normal temps before you vac the oil?
