    I was looking for a solution to the 4 cylinder oil filter mess problem other than the zip lock bag trick and I came across this Oil Udder. Looks pretty good from what I can see, but you can't always tell. Anyway I bought one because I have more money than brains and I'll post how well it worked for me when I do my next oil change in about 4K miles... I ordered the 4 inch unit for flexability of use.

    Neat little gadget. The 4 cylinder filter is a messy one. I might need to try one of these.

    That's neat. I've gotten pretty good at my plastic bag technique though.

    Interesting. I've got another car that has a terrible oil filter location and this might work just great. Thanks for posting.

    Couldn't you cut off the top of a 2L soda bottle to have the same thing???

    or

    Place a funnel under the filter???


    Seems like a neat gadget but not really.

    I guess you could, but this has a magnet built into it and it sticks to the filter. I have been using the ziplock bag trick and it works but is a pain in the ass. The 2 liter soda bottle is too rigid and a huge pain in the ass.It would require two hands and I'm not as flexible as I used to be. :)

    I guess we will see in a few months when I do my next oil change. It is rather expensive for what it is, but I have the money to spare so ... :spending:

    I hate oil running into my arm pit.

    I will. I don't drive as much as I did when I was a wildcat, but as soon as I get to an oil change I'll post back my thoughts.

    Hey Old Guy it's been 9 months - no oil change ? I just retired and was told it was a good idea to change oil every 6 months whether you have the miles or not - anyway what's up I was thinking of buying one - my pension is 1/3 of my base pay and I don't get OT so $30 is more then I want to flush down the toilet - I put enough down the toilet buying her scratch offs. Thanks for any reply.
