Other than changing your smoke alarm batteries, don't throw out your wifes cooking pans...there perfect for oil changes. The pictured 8qrt ceramic coated pan cleans up nice after a job.
On my T and the 39 about every other long ride I drain the oil through cheese cloth down the 6' CPVC pipe that rests on the pan rails. No filter on these vehicles so this works good between changes.
Gentlemen keep your heads up and stay positive
