Harry,
The plastic bag trick is to pull a plastic bag over the oil filter and
unscrew the oil filter with the plastic bag completely around the oil
filter. When the oil filter is off any oil that is spilled is caught by the
bag. I didn't need to do that with my auto, I used some newspaper under my
oil pan, in case some oil missed the pan. I preferred newspaper because the
newspaper absorbed the oil.

It looks like even you would have learned something if you had read the
small paragraph above your response.

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.

That figures...... I've known that trick since I was in my teens
working on cars.


Smithers didn't know about the plastic bag trick? Heheheh. D'oh. My old
man taught me that trick when I changed the oil in my jeep up at his shop.
"Put something under the change pan on the concrete floor to catch the oil
that spills." This was after we installed an oil filter on my vehicle,
because...it didn't come that way from the factory.
