In addition, since I don't have a vacuum pump, I pull the propeller through six complete revolutions backwards. This is supposed to suck the oil out of the filter. Seems to work in that I don't have to wait an hour (or hours) for the oil filter to drain. I was told not to do this if you have a vacuum pump as the vanes don't like to be rotated backwards.

Let it sit overnight. When you remove the oil filter, you may even avoid that drop as well..

It has a clip which actuates the valve inside the item on the left when the drain is screwed onto the valve. I have one of the on my Legacy and another on my IV-P. The only time I ever spill a drop of oil is from removing the oil filter. Jay Phillips -- For archives and unsub http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/lml/List.html
