This is the one thing I hate about flatheads. Since I don't want to leave even a pint of dirty oil in the engine when I change it, I always clean out the cannister. I get most of it out with a turkey baster and then use paper towels to get the dregs. Everything else is good; the filter cannister is upright and conveniently located and the fill tube is right where I want it, but sopping the remaining oil out of the cannister is a pain!
