[QUOTE="TrainTrac, post: 853086, member: 55399"] I'd say it would be good to have a couple of quarts on hand. You probably won't need all of that, but just in case... Here are a few things that I've done to minimize the mess: 1. Put a plastic grocery bag up around the filter when removing it. This won't catch all of the oil, but will catch some of it. 2. If you don't have an old shower curtain liner laying around the house, go out and buy a cheap (under $10) one and lay it down under the vehicle. That way, anything that drips down stays on it and doesn't get on the pavement. When you're done, just pull it out from under the truck, fold it up,and dispose of it. 3. You could also use the old tried and true technique of punching a hole in the bottom of the filter to drain all of the oil into a drain pan first, then remove the filter. [/QUOTE]
