Oil Change Mess

   / Oil Change Mess #12  
I use the extractors regularly mostly on marine engines and they don't work very well with cold oil, but 45 min for 3 quarts dose not sound right at all

Or bend a little piece of sheet metal in a vee that you can wedge up on top of the offending cross bar while it is draining. That's what I do when draining the outboard rear axle housings on my Kubota. Just the cheap in me I guess.

Even a good grade of cardboard works the same way.. It only has to last one oil change.:)

Or some of your wife's aluminum foil can make a handy custom funnel / oil flow diverter. And the bonus is you can aggravate your wife by stealing her aluminum foil and not putting it back where you found it.

I know its not completely the same, but changing oil filter on my Harley does the same thing.. makes a big mess. I use the side from a half gallon milk bottle.. makes a great diverter and lasts quite a few changes. Experiment with how you cut it to fit till you find the right size shape.
