this reminds me of my '87 G20 Chevy 3/4 ton van.  the oil filter was placed
just right so that all the extra oil would run down the A-arm and drip all
over the place.  usually on me.

i won't change the oil in my Xterra until i get the new skid plates (full
underside armor as opposed to the half-assed job Nissan did) since the stock
one has to be removed to get to the oil filter.  the one from Skid Row that
replaces that one has a hole in it for changing the oil.
