When changing the oil filter there is a way
to keep oil from spilling on the flex pipe....
Using a sheet of Reynolds Wrap aluminum
foil wrapped around the pipe takes only
a few extra minutes...
Keeps that pipe clean and no more stink 
while oil burns off !
 
hehe dont have flex pipe on my car do to backside exhaust front side intake
friends dont let friends roll stock
 
way less effort for somehting that doesnt bother me
 
 
I usually stick a rag around that pipe and it soaks up the oil.

Should already be a FAQ, or tip under the subject of 'Oil Change'.
