Lookin' good (relatively speaking). I had enough air in my tanks to get the rig raised enough without starting so I could get a bin under there. I didn't have a 17mm for the plug but got it off with an sae socket. Kind of bunged up the plug but I'm going to put a Fumoto on it when I get back. Anyhow, got the oil out and was able to turn the filter. Got that done before this torrential rainstorm that just started! (luck is turning for sure!) I'm picking up the oil and a new filter tomorrow. I'll change the oil, fire it up and head back home. Then I'll do it again in the comfort of my own gravel.
Thanks to all.

Once water is in the oil and then the engine is run, the water makes the oil like a chocolate milk shake (emulsified) There is no removing the water from the oil unless it sits a LONG time (months).

Change the oil - twice. The milkshake doesn't always go to the bottom of the pan while draining. To double check, change the oil, let it drain overnight open. Then replace the oil and filter and run the engine. Check the oil to see if it is clear or evidence of frothy. If the latter, change it again.

That's exactly what I ended up doing. Only spilled a half cup or so in the dirt so no harm to the site. Oil looked good and off we went. Have about 700 miles on it now and it looks like it should. We'll be home tomorrow and I'll change it again. I think it's all gonna be just fine. Thanks to all.
