No mention of removing the top cap before you drain the sump? So's not to create a vacuum in the engine while draining & being able to get all the oil out..

And your technique for not getting oil on yourself sucks :lol: How was that nice warm run that went all the way down your arm? :lol:

Also, I hope that wasn't 10w-50 I saw going in...

Nice vid none the less, will move it into DIY area :)

I always screw the filter out a couple of turns let it slowly run down the funnel bracket then unscrew so it doesn't go all over the starter!
