First oil change

Obviously, an oil change is nothing to blog about.  I just wanted to document my thoughts after my first oil change in this truck.  Since my truck is just a 2WD model, the ground clearance is a bit disappointing.  I drove onto a couple of 2x4's and that was more than adequate.
the 13mm hex drain plug is easily removed from the side w/o a mess
Since the oil filter is right above the front cross-member, Chevy placed a nice spill diverter beneath it
I tipped the truck to get most of the old oil out of the oil pan, and with a filter change it used a whole 5qt jug
