The first pic tells the story on the pan --- see that dark area in the bottom of the pic? It pretty much coated the entire surface of the pan. I've got a pic of the fluid draining out of the pan and amazingly it was redish in color. I expected it to be much darker. I didn't find any grit, bolts, washers, nuts, or screws in the pan.
Next time I do this though, I'll do a better job of cleaning ABOVE the pan.
I haven't cut open the filter yet.
I did find some rub marks in the bottom of the pan that were interesting. See pics. Maybe they were caused by something previously. The filter was quite tight and I didn't find any lose bolts that hold the valve body up. I was quite careful not to touch anything except what I needed to --- I was wearing latex gloves and changed them often. I had the fluid very warm from a long drive before I started.
I used a 22mm socket on the crankshaft bolt and went slow. I still think I missed it the first time. I tried using a mirror, but I had Coda too far up in the air to prop the mirror on anything. Plus with my eyes and using the drop light......well, you see the issue.
