Changing the oil in my wife's RSX-S. I first drain the oil at the pan till it runs dry. Then, when I take the oil filter off, it drains all over the axle and subframe below - and then onto the driveway of course!!
Is there a way to make sure that the filter is empty before removing it from the block? Is it something simple that I'm just not getting?
I have a CRX-Si, also. After draining it, I remove the oil filter and it's dry already. No mess.
What gives?
