VIDEO: Changing the Oil on an Automatic

Yeah, between that and the initial shot of oil after removing the plug is by far the messiest.

Yeah I've thought about getting one of those. Pretty neat....I like how they make the guy in the vid look like a total dumb@$$ while removing the drain plug, it's not THAT messy of a process
