A while ago in another topic, I forget which one, some drivers including myself talked about the mess that is made when changing oil on our Onan generators. Tight space and a shield near the horizontally-mounted oil filter makes it difficult to remove the filter without spilling oil.
DaveKC shared a tip about punching a hole in the filter to drain the oil from it before removing it. It works. Just loosen the filter before punching the hole so the oil does not make the wrench slip. A second hole will allow air in and speed drain time.
It was a simple tip that was easy to share. Using it makes the oil changes go faster and cleaner. Thank you, DaveKC for sharing the tip.
