...without getting oil all over the dang axle and just about every other part of the sub frame underneath that area???? makes a huge mess then smells even if you can wipe most of it off...that is if it doesn't go inside some of that shit and just drips out for an entire day....:eek:

i buy one of those oil absorbent pads and wrap it around the subframe... of course... it still gets all over me and the floor... but at least my car is clean...

I reach under from the right front wheel well and undo the filter by hand. Once it is loose I try to hold it as upright as possilble and slide it out. But inevitably some spills. Oh and I drain the oil pan first.:smilem:

yeah i always drain the pan first, but still the filter is full and i cannot tilt it up till it is all the way off the threads, which are long!.....

I usually let the excess get all over the place. Try to get some of it with a rag. Then i take a can of Brakeliene, spray it on the block, axles and subframe then wipe it all off.

wouldnt you want to let the oil drain longer than 5 minutes I mean even if the oil is hot after 5 min its still coming out of there
