Hello, i have a MD7A. Can i change the oil filter without massive amounts of oil leak when I remove the oil filter?Thanks in advance.

Im not sure how the filter is mounted on the md7a, but on some cars that I have had in the past that had horizontal filters that would dump oil out as I unscrewed them, I would punch a hole in them to let most of the oil drain out of the filter before I removed it from the engine.I have also made diverters out of aluminum foil to direct the draining oil to a catch pan.Having lots of absorbent material on hand also helps.

Yebbut why not use a scavenger pump to remove most of the used oil before twisting off the filter?Sent from
