yea .. I agree not major pain ... kinda funny in a way (glad you did not get burnt and also she hasn't kicked you out over it) .. most of the threads here make really clear .. LARGE drain pan ... and most recommend two .. one for the tank and the other for the engine ...
You can also look at the bright side .. you didn't get 12 quarts out .. the most you lost would be 7 or 8 as the engine ..
Now one request .. just so i can show the wife that my oil stains are not that bad ... Post a pic ....
