January 6, 201214 yr Going to do my first gear oil change on my 315 - any tips to do it cleanly? I presume I have to accept the fact that the drained oil is going to go all over the top of the skid plate
January 6, 201214 yr i just lean it over a little and then get a rag on a screwdriver to clean up after 500ml of oil to go in have fun with that ridiculously small filler hole

I used some Halford ATF which comes in a 1L bottle with a nice flexible spout that's narrow enough to fit in the hole, so I was able to put the nozzle in before tipping the bottle up and pouring in the pre-measured 500ml with no drips.
