Author Message   Bmwdavid Posted on Friday, May 26, 2006 - 11:10 pm:        I'm coming up on my first oil change on my 12X. From the looks of it the oil draining from the swing arm tank is going to go all over the muffler. I'm asking others who have done this before what they did to divert the draining oil. Also what kind of mess can I look forward to with the oil filter removal? Thanks. David   Brucelee Posted on Saturday, May 27, 2006 - 10:29 am:        Use a funnel to divert. Or, cut a plastic half gallon jug in half and drape over the muffler. Both work fine. Good luck!   Gowindward Posted on Tuesday, May 30, 2006 - 11:55 am:        I use aluminum foil at both locations to form a oil shield.   Bmwdavid Posted on Friday, June 02, 2006 - 08:37 am:        Thanks guys! David
