Did my first oil change
I took everybodys advice, bought a 5 gallon open topped container, the thing is huge and made for coolant changes. Had to make a trip to Buffalo so it let me put 150 miles on it, nice and warm. Took out the oil tank plug, WHAT THE F*&^ , it comes out like firehose, but the monster drain pan saved me. Next did the engine plug, cleaned the screen, put it all back together, and added 11 Qts per the manual written in German. Life is good, except now I need to pull out the monster container with 11 qts of hot oil, guess what, the container is as flimsy as a wet bag. The plastic used could not handle the heat so the thing is just sitting there getting softer and softer. So now what, I built a dam around it and hope that the thing holds together while it cools, locked the door and will go check it on Monday when I get back.
Moral of the story, h&ll I dont know, buy kitty litter in bulk??
