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 !

Good point! I actually do remove the oil cap during most changes, definitely on our other cars. For some reason I just went straight for the drain this time around. I also think letting some air in via the oil cap being removed helps drain the oil faster. Not sure if it actually does or not though.
