I would like the opinion of those who have done this job.

The SD is sitting with the head and manifolds off. The turbo draing tube has ready access from the top.

There is not a drop of oil aroung the base of the drain tube, where it enters the oil pan. Dry as a bone.

So, what's the plan?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it???

I've got no desire to drop the lower pan if I don't have to.
