C- Remove old oil filter by putting H/D plastic garbage bag over filter

and another plastic trash sack under filter and spread out to catch
drips. Removing old filter with oil filter wrench. Place old filter &
bag in a safe place out of the way.


It took me 2 years to figure this out. I used a pan under the oil filter,
the way I used to do on my car. No matter how hard I tried I ended up
spilling over a half cup of oil into the bilge. Since I like to keep my
bilge dry and clean this was a bitch to clean up. Using the High Density
plastic bag and a absorption pad under the filter, I don't have to clean up
the bilge at all. I also fill the new oil filter with oil before
installing the filter.
