What a mess this day was. On my 72, the last oil change. Prepared to do a mess free oil change. I took my time, wrapping the exhausts with plastic wrap to keep oil off when taking the filter off my 318. Oil filter has to come out from the engine compartment, not down. Did everything to insure no spill. Yeh that worked. NOT. Just as i was starting to bring the filter up around the exhaust manifolds, I dropped it. You can guess the mess under the car. Then the second mess, was when i was putting the new oil in. The funnel was standing up and seemed to be secure. Half way thru the first Qt of oil, the funnel feel to the side. So much preparing and taking time ended up with two spills. Hope this has not happened to any one else.
