Re: [DML] silly oil change question

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An old washing up bowl, and have you discovered "brake cleaner" for 
cleaning up afterwards? It's a volatile, flammable solvent used in 
workshops everywhere. It comes in aerosols, or more usually for a 
professional setup, in a squirty bottle with a pump on the top. It 
dissolves oil and dries to a powder in a few seconds. You'll recognise 
it immediately because it stinks of lemon - in fact this is a major 
ingredient
