Oil change

I did my first ever FJR oil change today, before heading out to WFO. Hal's tips were even better in practice than in theory.

I had a problem with the drain pan. I thought the central plug on the top was open, but it really wasn't. When I pulled the drain plug, the oil did not drain into the reservoir, but mostly got all over the driveway. About half-way along, I yanked on the plug enough to get it open, but the damage was done. I started with cat sand, and got some oil-dry at Pep Boys.

Mileage was 49,409.
