I was scared i had a stalker, Looked like my wrench, my driveway, my oil pan, my mess haha. Although ive never had mine over fill either? who knows. Sorry to see the disaster. Sounds retarded ( cause you could get wet) but spray the drive with water first, keeps the oil from soaking in :P soak it up wash it off and all is new

On second thought you might do beeeeautifully. Let me hear one line of "Glad to be an Okie from Muskogee". What's that? You don't know that one?

Looks like my garage floor did after my first oil change.
Nothing that 20lbs of drizit can't handle!!
No biggie, I learned that the closed top pans aren't the most CTD friendly.
Hot oil to the forehead, and neck wasn't much fun either!! OUCH!

Has anyone considered giving Pig a call before you change your oil?

Next time I'll just leave it open a couple turns like it was, already pouring out fast, and not remove it all the way til it's all drained.
Please tell me I'm not the only one that's done this.

I'm with you HID, I loosen it up until it starts flowing pretty good then go pop open a cold adult beverage.
By the time the Barley-Pop's done, it's time to pull the plug all the way out.

diff. pan same result. i now use a bucket. i actually had enough time to think ," ****, my thumb looks like it will plug it till the oil goes down enough" yeah right!!! i could only hold the thumb on there about 10sec till it about burned my thumb off 
. so now i use a 5 gal bucket and a magnet to fish out the plug.

I highly recommend one of these: http://www.genosgarage.com/CoastalDa...D=1013&CATID=1
Then when the pan gets full you can just turn off the valve while you empty the pan. Both my trucks have one.
Both my trucks are 4x4 so lately I have been putting one of those square plastic cat litter containers under it, since it fits under there. All the oil fits in there. If you have to go out and buy cat litter to get the container, that's OK, you can use the litter to absorb all that oil you spilled the first time around. (get the cheapest stuff that comes in a plastic container, it will absorb better)
