Tips on removing the oil filter
04/12/12 at 11:37:16

I did an oil change yesterday and I always dread doing them because of having to mess with the filter. Every time I open up the cover oil goes all down the side of the motor and a little on my exhaust and there is almost no room for me to get a rag in there and wipe it all off. Does anyone have any tips keeping the oil from getting everywhere down the side of the engine?

Works pretty good.
