One year later: not to let that happen again, I pulled the center cap out of the oil drain thing and cast it aside. This time the oil drain plug from the car fell perfectly into the hole in the drain pan thing and stopped it up. Once again, oil all over the garage floor. This next time I'm going to take further precautions, e.g. a screen over the oil drain thing, maybe?? Why does this have to be so difficult?
Wow..........this is an informative post, seeing as I just bought one of these a few months ago, and was planning on using it next oil change.

p.s. Do you think your friend will let me change my oil in his garage?
