Make that "trick"

It is obvious harry didn't understand what the plastic bag trip is all
about.

Sort of like his lack of understanding about GPS

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.
