Hi Bruce,

one advice I can give you sounds really simple.
Notice, that the oil drain screw looks out of the crankcase sideways, at
least on the RD07.
If you screw the oilscrew off, the oil comes out in a surprising jet, also
sideways. :)
First time I did not consider this. Big part of the oil missed the jar
which I placed directly beyond the drain. 
Small mistake, big effect.
:-o

Greetings

Thomas

Apparently-To: 

     I will be attempting my first home oil-change on my RD04 (1992 model) 
     this weekend (gulp!). Before I go ahead and buy a new oil filter and 
     oil, do I need to do what the manual says and use a oil filter wrench 
     to remove the existing oil filter? I don't actually own such a wrench 
     and didn't want to be in the position of having removed my engine bars

     bash plate, and having all my neighbours out in the street watching 
     only to find I could not remove the old filter.
     
     If there any tips or anything I should watch out, I'd certainly like 
     to know what they are.  
     
     Cheers for now,
