That device looks expensive and a lot of work to use.


The oil filter on my former Yanmar 6LY was particularly bad to replace. It sat in a little trough in the air cooler and as soon as you loosened the filter, oil would rush out and accumulate in the trough. There is a drain to the trough- a 1/4 hose but you need to do it once without so you will remember to use it next time.


With the use of the hose and a plastic bag to quickly wrap around the filter to catch its contents once it comes off, the filter isn't that bad and certainly this device isn't worth the time and money to make it easier.


Another example of a boating gimmick.
