oil change
Kevin
I take a plastic bag (heavy duty type for kitchen under counter) and;
1) losen up the filter so you can remove it by hand.
2) put the bag around the filteter
3) have the bag catch much of the oil as possible.
4) carefully remove the filter and drop it into the bag.
5) carefully remove the bag and filter. (avoid tearing the bag).
alternative
cut an side of a 1/2 gallon bleach bottle and trim the sides so it sits under the oul filter. Use it to catch the drips when removing filter. I have cut down a regular qt oil jug and it works but has less capacity.
I find the first method easier but you need to find the heavier plastic bags when are less likely to leak. Just take your time in either case. It's like the cowl motor.... just keep trying until you become and expert.
It's easier every few years when you replace the engine. much easier access......
