9.Remove the engine oil filter, turning it counterclockwise, allowing the residual oil in the filter port and filter to drain into the oil drain pan (Figure 29, Page 43). See following NOTE.
NOTE: An oil drip guard can be used to prevent excess oil from dripping into the engine base place. Use an empty quart (one litter) container and but the bottom off at an angle, then slide the open area of the container up and under the oil filter prior to removing. Position the port of the plastic container so oil will be directed into the oil pan (Figure 28). Or, make a drip guard by folding a piece of card- board, thin metal, or plastic under the oil filter forming a channel to direct the filter port oil into the drain pan.
Dispose of used oil according to the environmental laws and regulations for your area.
