See following NOTE.
NOTE:
An oil drip guard can be used to prevent excess oil from dripping into the engine base plate. Use an empty
quart (one liter) container and cut the bottom off at an angle, then slide the open area of the container up and
under the oil filter prior to removing. Position the port of the plastic container so oil will be directed into the oil
pan. Or, make a drip guard by folding a piece of cardboard, thin metal, or plastic under the oil filter forming a
channel to direct the filter port oil into the drain pan.
Dispose of used oil according to the environmental laws and regulations for your area.
