PS: I like how you drained the oil without getting a drop on your hands. 👍🏼🤠 Thanks.

This should be routine 'cause you can't be sure the gasket surface us "clean" otherwise.
Just a heads up: You're using the wrong oil on a 2.3L 4 cyl. Oil needed is SAE 5W-2O not the 5W-30. (page 260 of owner's manual) Filter needed is FL-400S (page 257 of owner's manual)

Just bought a 2008 last night one owner 162,000. Mint condition with a camper shell and spray in bed liner. Bee looking a long time for this baby.
Take out the dipstick, take off the oil filler cap,remove the oil filter first then drain the oil this makes the oil drain more freely
Do it while it's hot. Not cold. When it hot you get more debris and crap that settles when cold.

whenever you get a chance, you should do a video of your house/the area you live in.
