Last time I changed the oil in my M35 I had the 5 gallons of oil installed
and everything was buttoned up (or so I thought). Pumped about 2 gallons of
oil out that little spigot real quick! Well it was nighttime and all I had
was a flashlight. Almost walked right into the stream before I noticed it.
Took 2 bags of kitty litter to clean it up. Yup, its a real handy little
spigot allright! And I'm a real handy mechanic.
