    Duh - below the filter "reservoir", there is a little rubber cap covering an opening allowing you to drain the oil from the reservoir into an empty oil container or pop bottle. Feel the bottom of the reservoir and you will find it - no more messes - lol

    It's kind of hard to see because it blends in to the rest of the dark engine bay, but it is there, as posted above. Grab a small styrofoam cup and hold it as the oil drips out. After it's done, wipe it up with a rag. All done, VERY minimal mess. :thumbsup:
