I'll be going to my son's this weekend to "help him" with some car
repairs.

He bought a Mustang awhile back ('98 V6-232 3.8). I've helped with a
couple of repairs on it, but I'm not real familiar with it and he's not
much of a mechanic, but he's slowly catching on.

Anyway, one of the things we'll be doing is changing the oil. No big
deal, except I'd like to put a Fumoto drain valve on the thing to
simplify this in the future. But if I remember, the Mustang is pretty
low to the ground. While the fumoto works well on most cars (including
my two low to the ground Toyotas), there are a few rigs where it's
better not to tempt fate.

I can buy the valve locally, but probably not where he lives, so I'd
rather know before I go.

Anyone have any ideas?

Fortunately, that motor is ridiculously easy to work on and there is a
LOT of room in the engine bay compared to the V8. It's a good motor to
learn on.

I don't think it would be an issue at all. The pan isn't THAT low to
the ground.
