All of the above and also, Kevs top tip to me.

Before you take out the drain nut at the front of the engine block. Refit the oil filler cap/dipstick.
Then take the nut out.
Then slowly unscrew the oil filler cap/dipstick until the oil runs out freely.

If you take the oil filler cap/dipstick out completely, and then take out the drain nut at the front of the engine, it fires oil all over your front wheel. Hence the towel that Bear and I both needed to mop up after the first oil change.

You don't need to worry about this with the bottom nut drain nut.
