You must also remove the sump plate, located in the center bottom of the engine. There are eight(8) nuts(usually). Loossen them, two at a time, starting to one side. Work your way around to the opposite side, leaving the plate slightly hanging down. Let her drain. When the bulk of the oil has drained, remove the plate and clean the plate and screen.

Unless your tank is tapped for a drain plug, disconnect the oil line and drain from there....then the engine sump.....
