Oil, oil everywhere! - How do you change oil?

So, how do you guys accomplish a neat and tidy draining of the engine oil? What do you use? Do you use a drain hose? Some kind of special pan? Inquiring minds want to know! Is there another drain plug that I don't know about that drains more neatly?

Hey Rob:

Actually, I use a "topsider"...it's an oil bucket that you pump the air out of, then release a clamp and it sucks the oil out of the engine. It's slow but very neat. And yes, it gets it all out, IMHO, just as good as taking the drain plug out and draining it... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Congrats on the new machine!

I don't know what the cross reference is for the NAPA part off hand. It's in here somewhere...

Yep, per Mr. Bubenberg in this post:
