I made a big mess LOL
Hi all,
i was all prepared for a tranny oil change and wow while draining , the oil over shot my 18 inch drainpan by a foot coming out sideways. I was really wanting to avoid a mess but oh well, the change went very well with a pump as suggested. I didnt spill a drop there!! my 89 mazda r1 hold just shy of 6 pints. In the future, i dont wanna line my drain pan directly under drain plug.....i gotta account for a horizontal pour ...you all have a nice Easter

Kitty litter to soak up the majority of it, then some super concentrated cleaner (blue liquid, makes simple green look weak), then power washed the driveway.
I cleaned it up asap though so I didn't have any staining or residual oil left all over the place that really needed "cleaned up" after the kitty litter.
