Afternoon guys... The EPA has officially banned me from changing my own oil after the great spill of '08.

I'm going to start changing my own oil on the motorcycle again.. it doesn't hold as much oil so any spills should be easily contained, right?

The old o-ring was stuck on the filter mount, and I put the new filter on over it. Two o-rings don't make a tight seal, and who knew a Ford 3.0 V6 could pump oil out so fast? What a mess. I think I had to add 4.5 quarts back in when I got the new filter installed correctly.
