Hilux diesel 97 - 05 Oil filter change mess solved

This is not my original idea it's a big thank-you to whoever posted it up here in some distant past post I could not find.

As you unscrew the oil filter on these diesels they drop about 250ml, someone said they put a Chinese take-away type rectangular container under the oil filter and it captured the oil.

Well bugger me how easy it was. The container rests on a chassis rail and an electrical cable and it was my first ever oil change with not one single drop drop on garage floor (not that I'd notice it by now ...)

Though I suggest you put the lid on afterward for the tricky extraction of the container.

cheers
