Question For Diy Oil Changers..

[lemon]

Any do it yourselfers notice that the oil drain catch under the filter is totally useless, or is it my car in particular? When I unscrew the filter, the oil runs down behind the guide (between the block and the guide) rather than into the guide itself. I'm wondering whether it does this for everyone, or am I missing a gasket or something between the guide and the block.

Works just fine for me. Maybe the car is too high in the front end?
