1 / make sure engine is warm (not hot, not cold, but warm) as oil flows better when warm..
2 / undo the fumuto(drain plug if you dont have a fumuto) and drain the oil from the sump into the catch drum,
3 / lift dip stick slightly to aid with air intake and allow oil to drain faster..
4 / leave it alone for an hour or so while you kick back with a beer or two (making sure the missus knows that you cant be disturbed cause your busy servicing the truck).. check periodically (between beers) to see how much is still draining from sump
5 /once its only drippiing occasionally from sump, ill remove the oil filter, no oil comes out AT ALL.. the catch area below the filter in mine never gets oil in it, cause its all drained out..
6 / change filter, close sump plug/fumoto and refill with oil..
Sit back and have another beer.. job done..
