Hey everyone,
Just a potential cost-saving measure I wanted to share with all of you. I used to use brake cleaner to clean off residual oil from oil pans, etc. during an oil change. At about 4 dollars a can it added up quickly.
Over the last 4 or 5 years I've switched to using Mean Green degreaser in a small spray bottle for cleaning residual oil during an oil change. Spray it directly on the pan, etc. and give it a quick wipe down. It is also good at getting oil spots off of concrete. For me it works as good if not better than brake cleaner.
The best part? You can get a gallon of concentrate for about 6 bucks at Walmart. I mix it 50/50 with water and it's still quite stout. That's 2 gallons of degreaser for about $6. Additionally, it doesn't have the harsh fumes that brake cleaner has.
