Did the same with a half gallon jug, been using that for 40 years and thought everyone else was too.
No Mess Oil Change

I had a remote filter on my 67 barracuda the guy before me installed, no mess ever, ended up shortening the hoses and set them up better for gravity drain. thinking about putting one on my charger , along with an oil cooler.

If the battery ever gets to the trunk the filter will get moved to that location.

What a freak, I’ve never let the oil in any of my cars get that dirty, anyone else hear that Chevy barely clinging to life??

Crusher time
Changed oil on my cars for eons and then started to see that doing it myself wasn't saving much coin and hassle with clean up and then taking to recycling center when that became required. I had irritating encounter though taking wife's car to a Valvoline place where the kid cranked the new filter on so hard it damaged the seal. I found that out when there was a massive oil pool on garage floor next day so ended up doing my own oil change anyway rather than tow the car. And my daughter took her car there paying with credit card and go figure within 24 hours after...her card was maxed out. I talked to shop manager and wrote to company and they did squat. So no further patronizing there or any V place. Only car I still do my own on is my '63 Ply. I have a certified service garage do other changes.

"Primate" & "Internet All Star" is right. This is NOT the guy you want to take advice from. He ranks right up there with the kid that advised putting a small dab of grease on your brake shoes to prevent squeaking. This is one of his better ones. What a Bozo. https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/...f2baf2372229ae58d80430389deb3dd0&action=click

Yikes ... another Autozone/O'Reillys oil change gimmick. Sh*t, if we haven't yet figured out how to change oil without making a mess and without using products like this, maybe it's time for some to hang up their smocks and hair caps (referring to a video where a guy was wearing his wife's kitchen smock and shower cap to change his oil... very sad).

WOW! "Guy's" like that DO NOT belong under a car, or the hood (or in a garage for that matter).

Thanks for that link. After seeing some of those other videos, I can't tell if this guy is serious or some kind of spoof. I mean I would HOPE that it was a spoof. That's just terrible advice and some unfortunate person is going to follow it. Who says this as a troubleshooting/repair tip:
If you have an engine trouble code for a catalytic converter, just pour a couple of gallons of lacquer thinner in your gas tank and rev the engine for 20 MINUTES!

This Bozo (Scotty Kilmer) is dead serious.

The problem with that (as I see it) is that the threads will stick up into the pan a bit as they are longer than the pan is thick, thus creating a bit of a stand pipe and leaving more residual oil in the pan than I would care to.

Not sure, but when you pull the plug, the drain hole is open with no stand pipe so to speak around it, so all the oil drains (if I'm explaining this correctly). That easy drain thing would still have some threads up in the pan by 1/4" or 1/2" I would guess, leaving that much old oil in the pan. Does that make sense?
...and the cross-threaded and/or over-torqued drain plug.
