Again, one of those things I should’ve bought 15 years ago. I just didn’t know these even exist. This is the second most exited I’ve even been about a bucket only narrowly topped by the time I found two for free.

    Yeah if you have to improvise, sounds like you know what you’re doing. I have a Honda that has horrible oil filter placement. They make a funnel specifically for it to magnetically attach to the frame and redirect the flow once the filter is removed. Otherwise it dribbles all the way down the frame. The funnel was way overpriced but it was either that or waste a ton of trash bags.

      Yeah that sounds like a pay once, cry once situation. More than once I’ve spent cussing under a truck or car with oil dribbling down my arm trying to get it to not make a mess. All in vain regardless. Here’s a free one, dishwasher powdered detergent is the best for pulling oil stains out of your driveway.

        I used liquid laundry detergent and a stiff brush with decent success. I’ll try the powder if it happens again. Thanks!
