Hi Kayo, I can help you with the oil going all over the frame when you drain it. I have taken care of this when I drain the oil and even the filter. I no longer have to wipe extranious oil off of the engine and frame. If you are interested, contact me. Thanks. Gary Masir in Clifton,NJ ----- Original Message ----- From: "K.L.
