You can't do it from under the car without some seriously small hands. It it's easiest to take it out from the wheel well. Then Crawl under to suck the oil out.

Just got in there straight shot...more extension than mentioned would be nice...had to start as far left of o2 as possible getting it all the way in and then sliding it over...very tight, but it is possible. Just can't start straight at it.

Ok...perfect setup is a 10" wobble extension off of socket to 2 6" extensions....wobble extension gives perfect amount of flexibility! !!

Pic from underneath with plug out. Looks as if it was leaking some how, but the said look of fluid is at opening and upward ?

If there is a vent tube atop the unit, could have been fluid coming out of there down the side.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights
If tuned: Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
