[DML] Re: silly oil change question

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

This is a point we all have addressed one time or another. That oil 
drain can be a BIG mess. My first problem was just wondering how to 
get the drain plug out. As to the mess, COSTCO sells a bag of rags 
(50) for a few bucks, nice towel type. Then, go to the parts store 
and get a spray can of non-flammable brake clean and a wide, oil-
drain pan. Just spray the brake-clean on the areas where oil needs 
removed and wipe off. Clean-ups are fast easy and spotless. Just 
throw the rag away and dispose of the oil properly.

When changing the oil on the floor, all the stuff I've tried usually 
looked like a Rube Goldberg contraption and I made a bigger mess.
