Wrenching on the Diesel Kubota RTV? Already?

What happens here

With the protective guard removed, the presenter points out the oil pan and the 14mm drain plug. He advises warming up the engine to approximately 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius) to allow the oil to drain more effectively. He uses a 14mm wrench to loosen the drain plug and carefully removes it, ensuring not to lose the copper washer. He highlights his tendency to make a mess during this process, confirming that some oil will inevitably spill.

Goal: The engine oil is drained from the oil pan after removing the drain plug. The presenter advises warming the engine beforehand for better oil flow.
