Neophyte. Red solo cup over the oil filter after you break it loose. Put your shop vac into the oil fill hole n turn it on. It will hold the oil in until you remove the oil plug. Position your tub under but away from the hole because it’s gonna shoot the first few quarts n shut the vac off. On the oil filter there’s a gasket. Take new oil n dip a finger into it n rub it on the gasket surface. Fill the filter most of the way with new oil before installing it.

So I guess the title of your next video will be "I got arrested on live TV in front of millions of people"? At least on the bright side you can now say your channel has been "featured" on Live PD. LOL. Side note: Why do cops act like doing ~100MPH in a Ferrari is just as dangerous as doing it in something like a Civic? It's not. A 458 will outperform a Civic in stopping power at double the speed. It's not fair to treat these cars the same when it comes to speeding tickets. Doing 100MPH is reckless in a Civic but can be absolutely safe in a Ferrari 458 with some basic common sense (e.g. not in rain, not in heavy traffic, etc.). Our highways were even modeled after the autobahn and people routinely do well over 100MPH on it without any issues at all as long as basic safety rules are followed.
