[DML] Re: silly oil change question

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here's a good tip courtesy of my good friend and expert jerryrigger 
Shannon Yocom who thought up this neat little trick.

Take a regular gallon windshield washer bottle, (empty of course) 
cut  the bottom off, and then cut id about 4 inches down. Cut the 
side of the bottom of the bottle off, the side opposite of the 
handle, and leave the back of the bottle attached.

So you will have a emty windshield washer jug with the bottom 
removed, and the front bottom section removed.

You can just hold the jug upside down with the remaining part of the 
bottle to act as a perfect splash shield, and the oil will flow 
right down out of the opening  on the windshield bottle. With the 
bottle upside down, you have the old handle still there to hold it 
in place till the flow to where you can remove the splash shield. 
Save the bottom circle part of the bottle to set the jug in to 
prevent any dribbles of mess.

Perfect for the clean freaks like me to prevent oild from getting on 
your frame. I cut my splash shield a bit bigger as I keep the frame 
windexed and washed. This is the perfect trick to avoid the oil bath 
the frame normally takes.

Hope you understood what I was trying to say. Let me know if you 
need me to post a picture showing a cut jug.

Good luck,

Joe OBrien
