Lisle No-Splatter Oil Pad: Need to be smarter than my tools. Hope next year is better than this one!

[@johnnyhotrod]

You got balls of steel posting this!😂 My mistakes are endless but kudos to you for showing your mistake. Thanks

[@ScoutCrafter]

You deserve an award for continuing filming and not swearing thru out the entire ordeal! Up to the point where you realized the pan plug was still in it was the cleanest oil change I had ever witnessed! 😃👍

[@Mr.Moose5000]

A man that shares his mistakes is a REAL man

[@A51Zombie]

Always reassuring to know I’m not the only one who does this type of stuff. Always enjoy it when people post the real stuff they do. Makes them more relatable to me. Love your videos!

Lol, this is staged as staged could be

[@eckyeckypikang]

That's certainly one of the most HONEST reviews of a product I've ever seen! Kudos for sticking with the video despite the user error... in this era where everything on camera is questionable, this one stands out as genuine.

[@kiyosenl.3889]

And this concludes the most entertaining oil change ever

[@heart4Pahoa]

Huge respect for posting a real life “how not to” video. This is why the beginning of all my projects start with a check list.

[@jeffsnyder5456]

Been there done that once lol 😆 😂 🤣. I laughed so hard when you said good thing it's so hot lol.

[@bradbeck2601]

I rarely laugh out loud at a video, but this one got me 😂

[@michaelbuddy]

Doc obviously those pads make for a cleaner better experience. A product designed for people who want to work smarter. Also noted you used that other twisty flex tool thing, which clearly prevented you from getting oil on your hands. Excellent.

[@3vil3lvis]

Yep that's a typical oil change, despite all planning ends up in an oily mess.

[@DavidEscobedo-qp6mi]

😂 I’ve had a drain plug slip out of my hand once and it happened to plug the catch pan drain hole, same result

[@paultrujillo9923]

Doc, got 1, a year a go. LOVE IT! With a full-size 4×4 diesel truck, 3 gallons of hot oil, comes out with authority. The oil pan of the truck is so high as well, it's a petroleum "Niagra Falls". Bought the same Lisle filter-mesh you showcased, cut it to size, and now more "splash-zone" issues. Should've done it much sooner, but isn't that the true meaning of KZbin friends like yourself, to teach+learn each other? I appreciate you being honest, Doc, with your demo, as well. Not many creator's, are willing to show minor mishaps of their videos, for the sake of their fragile egos. I respect that, 🙋‍♂️. Have a good safe weekend Brother 👍. -Paul.

[@jacksmith2315]

Great idea. I imagine the sponge for fish tank filters would work just as good for cheaper. They have some that are bigger and cut to size for canister filters

[@AA-gw6wd]

Yeah thanks for the recommendation!! Same great humility. And didn’t miss the “Doc out.” Lol

[@Joe_from_iowa]

Thanks for sharing :) I recently switched to the Fumoto valves so I can use a drain hose right into my collection container.

[@tylerh1648]

Just woke up everyone in the house crying from laughter on this. Funniest thing I've seen in awhile 😂😂

[@palmettopalm]

Man this video is great haha. Thank you for posting despite the fail

[@asg58]

I've always used hog hair air filter media for air conditioning, that u can cut to size, usually less than 5$ at lowes or Home Depot.

[@rickir808]

I like the lisle pad as well, I keep forgetting to open my drain tub plug too lol.

[@BellaRocko]

Now that's Real World DIY right there! I've had plenty of my share of oil messes due to an over-sight of something. As for this video, I was almost yelling at the computer telling you to hurry and put that drain plug back in before it overflowed. You got it just in the nick of time! Good job, Doc! BTW, I have one of those no-splatter pads, it works great just as you showed here.

[@watuzi]

What a near disaster hehe. Glad you didn't panick and kept your cool. I will definitely get this, my driveway owes you a big thank you.

[@madsmix]

Doc. Love the brevity and honesty. It is truly a breath of fresh air.

[@madsmix]

Then again, why would you wear a Rolex for an oil change! That was a cringe moment when it hit the pan!

[@Mrcjhepburn]

Yep, I've done that before... except mine was laced with profanity and you had the wherewithal to get the car's drain plug reinserted. Nice job and thanks for sharing, mistakes make for a good videos.

[@justinkase1360]

Nothing can ever be easy, lol. Thanks for the video.

[@deanobenito]

Thanks for posting this doc this is how we learn 😂 the amount of times I’ve made mistakes while doing my craft, I don’t make them a second time well not as much as the first😂 I love the honesty

[@mitchmazerolle]

Educational....and entertaining. Can't ask for much more than that.

[@danduane1413]

I literally was laughing for about a minute. Great review and shows that we're all human.

[@MATTE.U.K]

This is like an illustration of every diy project I do

[@wolleysegap9740]

No worrys Doc, stuff happens. Happened to me, except with me I forgot to open the vent hole. Lol...

[@MrChow]

So this is the reason I don't run this type of drain pan anymore. You really have to remember to close and open the plug. I went to a just a bigger pan or if it coming really high up I have funnel like thing for it that's even wider. I've used this when I was at shop. It's a great more for being able to put everything on top. Maybe getting the pad for it the wider thing would be the idea for me. Good share.

[@JG-zb7om]

Honesty is the best policy, and it makes for some great content as well!

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello again Doc Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Sometimes Doc, you just have to laugh it off. It's better than getting angry, just laugh 😃 Again thank you

[@foxwood67]

Real world stuff right there. I don’t cuss much but guaranteed I would have let out several choice expletives after sticking my hand in that hot oil . Happy new year Doc

[@cravejdm]

Your rock, my friend. I know at one point we all have done that hands down, lol.

[@hhoverdrive1]

This is how things go in real life. I was actually impressed with the pad though. Oil flowed through it almost without any disturbance.

[@Xfolium1]

I was suffering with you!!! I hate oil on my garage floor, I got rid of my Jaguar and Rover because of that.

[@llNATEDOGGll]

With the watch on is diabolical lol

[@Sylvan_dB]

I've forgotten to open the pan before! LOL

[@NickMach007]

Good save!

[@toshmiller5571]

Not use to seeing u actually use a tool. Prefer this style much more. But I understand that some guys are more tool collectors than users, and always thought of you as such but still appreciate you introducing the viewers to unknown tools.

[@kevindavis6042]

How is it that I kept thinking "is the plug out of his drain pan " the whole time before you realized it was not Had to laugh your not the only one who has done this

[@MichaelE.Douroux]

Soldiered on. Happy New Year!

[@robleo2235]

Know that feeling. Another great video thanks have a great new year

[@chrischambers5482]

Oil change 1 Doc 0. Besides I heard that 10W30 is great for the skin. Great video.

[@Ezzell_]

Been there/done that.

[@k6ul]

I’d be tempted to use a small piece of that stuff (my oil drops straight down - pretty easy to predict). Can’t see keeping a saturated pad around between changes.

[@Xellos14]

Nifty idea, but would a buffing or stripping pad off of a floor waxer do something similar? They seem to go for about a fifth of the cost if you can cut a round bit to fit the hole in the center of some of them. Nice video, about how it goes with an oil change lol

[@Fedwrench]

We've used HVAC filters at work that performed as well as the Lisle pad. Not your typical white filter in a carboard frame but, the other type without the frame, usually dark green, that looks like the lisle pad material but, slightly thinner.

[@boosted2.4_sky]

It would... it is the exact same material...👍

[@michaelsinghpurewal]

🤣..kudos for publishing...happy new year

[@austinbridge]

Ha! You can't win 'em all, Doc! Imagine if this happened without that splash pad! Happy New Year 👏

[@tikimaka1]

Thank you for sharing. How does one clean this thing? And how do you store it? I have the same oil drain container but I store it up right to save space.

[@isaacdrums6]

This was great

[@j.r4985]

Kinda seems like those bulk sheets of green scotch brite would do the same thing

[@diemman70]

Happens to the best of us😂 Ok so it stops the splatter but now there is another messy thing to deal with. I’ll stick with my tried and true and least messy method.

[@heyg7819]

Ever consider a Fumoto valve?

[@bijohnson]

The better option to drain plug removal tools.

[@jshulch]

Looks like my luck! lol I had a big round container that I used for years that hardly made a mess. It developed a crack so I had to toss it and I got one identical to what you're using in this video. Hate it, makes the biggest mess everytime. I'm going to find another like I had!

[@SmallChooch]

I could feel the panic when the pad started to lift up

[@KennethLRubenstein]

That was great.

[@calsmith7902]

God bless you 🎉 ....

[@mcspikesky]

Last best video!

[@PipoCollins]

Pressed liked, legit review, loved it, so what happens to the pad afterwards?, does it dry up?

[@lastbesttool]

It stays oily and lives in the pan. I store it all under my truck.

[@John45acp]

Wow that worked rather well LMFAO Thank God for that fancy oil plug tool

[@daltontengelsen1503]

Classic move.

[@chickwithstick7695]

We've all done it...

[@trophbrwntrouthunter]

Don’t forget to replace the oil drain plug before pouring the 5.5 liters into a 4Runner v6, ask me how I know lol

[@nachoisme]

My last oil change I got everything drained. Plug back in. Looked for any obvious leaks. None. Bout to take it for a quick spin to get the oil to temp to see if any small leak occurred. Then I noticed the oil filter sitting next to my tire still in the box 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@WoLpH]

It does show a downside of the no-splatter pad. You can't see the oil plug so you're more likely to forget it ;)

[@TitusandTesla]

It’s not funny but I laughed. It also reminded me when I made a mess all over my driveway

Please get some solid ramps, those that you have are a death trap.

[@scotts4125]

I will do my own brakes, plug tires, spark plugs, electrical wiring, change broken parts but I pay for oil changes. I also do it so the dealer has a record in case I have engine issues under warranty. I pay them for peace of mind and no mess.

[@frankv64]

Those are the worst drain pans. Just get one of those round deep ones with a spout and transfer to a container
