For those of you with a Jeep 392 who are willing to get your hands dirty and do your own work on it, you know know how much of a pain it is to replace the oil filter without making a mess. Located just above the front axle, oil ends up dripping all over it, the track bar and even the tie-rod and for the most part, there's no way to keep it from doing this. Well, almost no way that is.
Needless to say, here's my $5 solution - a $3 disposable aluminum cookie sheet and a $1.50 hand clamp and both of which I bought at Walmart. Essentially, about $5 including tax.
As you can see, all you have to do is clamp the cookie sheet on to the tie-rod and place your oil catch pan under it.
And that's all there is to it

, however when I start changing it myself I’ll definitely implement this technique.
