Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find it. Is it normal for there to be a pool of old oil under the oil filter on a 2015 3.5 Expedition? I did an oil change for a friend and when I wiped off the newly installed oil filter the parts of the shop towel that were hanging down around my hand came out soaked in black oil. I saw that there is a tube to guide the oil to the drain access in the rock guard. Does the oil sit in a pool untill it can drain through that tube? Thanks in advance.
