Only thing missing from this video is rAK with a HUGE stack of shop towels. :D:

Cool, but when do you use the towels? :shrug:

[Astir]

When you don't remove the plug in the drain pan causing it to overflow, when you remove the oil plug without removing the filler plug first to vent properly and the oil goes in unexpected directions, when you dump the oil from the filter everywhere, when you start to fill and glug over the side... (did I get them all rAK? :rofl:)

In other words the guy in the video did it all wrong, I thought something was fishy when he put on those rubber gloves. :lol:

I have to defend him wearing gloves. If you read the motor oil bottle it says "used motor oil has been found to cause cancer in laboratory animal" I'm not a laboratory animal (my wife says I'm an animal):D: but I'm not taking any chances that the oil might think I am.
