C'mon dude .... you new at this game??
Next time you use up a roll of toilet paper or paper towels keep the round cardboard thing. when its time to drain your oil cut said roll to size, usually about 2 inches long, insert said roll inside the hole in your skid plate and push it nice and tight up against the bottom of your motor. unscrew drain bolt ... oil stays inside your little cardboard oil tube and drains nicely into your catch pan. top of your skid plate stays nice and clean!! no oil drips on the shed floor from when you left it on the kickstand over night either!!! My moose skid plate oil hole was the perfect size to take a toilet paper roll. The scorpian is too small so you have to cut the roll length wise and roll it up a little tight. then when it springs open the tension keeps it in place. No tP roll?? any piece of bendy cardboard will do. Manila office folder cardboard is nice and flexible and rolls up nicely. One manial folder will get you through a season just about!!!
