Oil Change mess

[BuzzH3]

OK, I just did the first oil change in the H3 last night. I didn't mind removing the skid plates since it was very easy. The problem is that the location of the drain plug and filter is horrible. The drain pours partly on the cross-member. The oil filter has a nice little tray to catch the oil that drains from the filter, however, the plastic bolts that attach it to the frame aren't even close to being sealed. The oil drained down the tray, but also drained right through the cross-member. I still have oil dripping out of the cross-member. I don't mean to complain, but I think they could have done a little better job with the placement.

Does anyone have any tricks they have used for oil changes? I will probably try to clean the filter tray off and use some silicone for the next oil change. Also, has anyone used any of the quick change drain plug replacements? I wasn't sure of the quality.
