Step 5Catch the Oil
When you first pull the plug, the oil will gush out straight at you with some force. After a while it will trickle out like this. If you don't anticipate the changing trajectory of the oil it's very easy to miss the tub and make a big oil spill. Put the tub as close to the drain hole as possible.
My truck has a two-humped sump with a divot over front axle. There are two different drain plugs that have to be removed in the two low points. Before I found out about this my oil changes didn't seem very effective. The oil on the dipstick was black even after the oil change.
