I was think thinking the same thing. That motor would be covered in oil if I did that without a funnel.

One other thing I would of done differently is I would of removed the oil cap first before I drained the oil and on an inline 6 bmw the oil filter cap too.

I know most will think that's dumb but I have learned from years of working on cars to make sure that I can get fluids back into something before I drain anything out.

I have had this happen to me and others more times than I care to remember.

But Ive never seen a howto video on doing an oil change that did that so that's just me and not something I would of even expected to see.

Great video !
