Someone on the other patrol forum built and sold a tray that bolts under the filters. Not sure if he still does it.

I leave the oil to drain overnight and there is usually not enough left in the filters to make any mess.
Otherwise I loosen the filter, then wrap it with a plastic shopping bag before I undo it completely and catch the oil in the bag.

Im lazy I just let it go everywhere, then hit it with the $2 SCA degreaser and hose off.

I have one of these fitted to my GUIV and my GQ. They are made by Chicken on the other forum. is is a FIFO working and is on placement in Indonesia at the moment. Note sure if he has stock. You could try Matt at Pro-Deisel Motorsports on Facebook, he may have some stock of them.

I rate it highly. I know Stropp also has one on his. Great bit of kit! They should be standard fitment.

I also have a Chicken tray on mine, the only thing was I had to modify it to fit around the dipstick tube. But makes life so much easier.
Mudski you really shouldn't let the oil drain over starter motor and wiring over time the oil damages the wiring insulation

It gets cleaned off with degreaser so its not on there long....

I reckon the Chicken tray is a No Brainer.

Chicken has changed his design, slightly different to mine.

So where do you order from this chicken bloke? I found his username on the other forum but no thread about ti ?
Do you just PM him and go from there ?

JJF made one himself. He has some info on it floating around.

Yes the MK1 version I fitted to my GQ did not fit the GU. (I bought 2) I waited about 3 years for the MK2 version to be developed to fit the GU series. Great bit of kit.

Hodge. Look up ProDiesel Motorsport on FB, he may have them in stock.

Regarding the oil filter question I just cut the bottom out of a 1 litre oil container leaving about a 25 mm lip. As posted above I let it drain overnight then do the filters. The first time I did this super mod a mate snuck up behind me an tickled me nuts as i was precariously perched over the guard an I spilt the bloody oil everywhere bloody hell.

All jokin aside it has worked every time I have done an oil change.

Cheers Gary

Last time when undoing the filters oil went farkin everywhere.
I was thinking this time might jack up the passenger side so the filters are as upright as possible to contain the oil within them? Just a brainstorming idea.

I am mates with Chicken on Facebook and have sent him a PM. Not sure if he is in Au or Indo at the moment. I think he is on a swing in Indo though, I'll let you know.

Thanks Darren. I PM-ed that ProSport Diesel page/bloke you mentioned, no reply as yet.

ProDiesel Motorsport. Yeah Matt is a Great bloke mate, if he has them he will sort you out.

Here's the one I made from some scrap colourbond guttering. It's lower than the ones you can buy and has the offset drainage because of the bigger starter I'm using.
