Maybe you should ask him about a group buy, seems like enough people might be interested.

I may need to get one of these! And I never thought of using a zip lock bag when removing the filter! Get a gallon size up there and the bag should catch it all. This next oil change should be interesting ....

Ditto. Some things just seem too simple after you read about it!! Definately going to try it next oil change.

Lol. I stick with conventional every 3k. I know synthetic doesnt "create leaks" but when I did synthetic my crank shaft seal started to leak. Since then, I stick with GTX High Mileage.

also if you crank the engine a few turns after you drain the oil it will pump out the filter and there is no oil in the filter.
