Thought I'd share a "trick" taught to me by a hangar neighbor. It's so simple, and so very effective. It's possible that every pilot knows this trick but me... But just in case others haven't seen it, thought I'd share it here.
Oil changes can be messy. Hangar neighbor gave me a 30" piece of 2" PVC cut in half and told me to use on my next oil change. Today I did. Not a SINGLE DROP to clean up! It was almost too easy. Slide the PVC 1/2 pipe under the filter connection point and out the side to drip into a pail. Loosen the filter, let it drip out. When done dripping, remove filter and clean off residual. Easy peasy.
