An apparatus and method for laterally conducting oil within a motorcycle frame space, the motorcycle frame space being longitudinally bounded by an engine having a protrusion, the space being oppositely laterally bounded by an oil filter manifold having a removably attached oil filter, the apparatus
An apparatus and method for laterally conducting oil within a motorcycle frame space, the motorcycle frame space being longitudinally bounded by an engine having a protrusion, the space being oppositely laterally bounded by an oil filter manifold having a removably attached oil filter, the apparatus including a bushing fitted for oil filter passage and for nesting receipt of an annular bearing surface of the manifold; the apparatus further including an oil sluice and a wholly formed joint interconnecting the sluice and the bushing, the joint orienting the oil sluice so that the oil catch and oil drain ends of the oil sluice may respectively underlie the oil filter and extend laterally from the frame space; the method including steps of extending the bushing into the motorcycle frame space and over the oil filter for nestingly receiving the manifold's bearing surface within the bushing; removing the oil filter; and catching and laterally conducting the oil along the oil sluice for collection outside the frame space.

I claim: 1. An apparatus for laterally conducting oil within a motorcycle frame space, the motorcycle frame space being longitudinally bounded by a motorcycle engine, the motorcycle engine having at least a first protrusion extending oppositely longitudinally into the motorcycle frame space, the motorcycle frame space being oppositely laterally bounded by an oil filter manifold having an annular bearing surface, the oil filter manifold having removably attached thereto an oil filter, the oil filter having an oppositely lateral end, the apparatus comprising: (a) a circular bushing fitted for passage of the oil filter therethrough, the bushing being further fitted for nesting receipt of the oil filter manifold's annular bearing surface, the bushing being, upon the nesting receipt by the bushing of the oil filter manifold's annular bearing surface, manually rotatable with respect to the annular bearing surface; (b) an oil sluice having an oil catch end and an oil drain end, the oil sluice comprising a longitudinally and upwardly extending wall and an oppositely longitudinally and upwardly extending wall, the longitudinally and upwardly extending wall comprising a sluice leveling notch fitted for, upon manual rotation of the bushing with respect to the oil filter manifold's annular bearing surface, receipt of the motorcycle engine's at least first protrusion; and, (c) attaching means interconnecting the oil sluice and the bushing, the attaching means orienting the oil sluice so that, upon nesting receipt by the bushing of the oil filter manifold's annular bearing surface, the oil catch and oil drain ends of the oil sluice may respectively underlie the oil filter's oppositely lateral end and extend laterally from the motorcycle frame space; the bushing comprising plastic. 2. An apparatus for laterally conducting oil within a motorcycle frame space, the motorcycle frame space being longitudinally bounded by a motorcycle engine, the motorcycle engine having at least a first protrusion extending oppositely longitudinally into the motorcycle frame space, the motorcycle frame space being oppositely laterally bounded by an oil filter manifold having an annular bearing surface, the oil filter manifold having removably attached thereto an oil filter, the oil filter having an oppositely lateral end, the apparatus comprising: (a) a bushing fitted for passage of the oil filter therethrough, the bushing being further fitted for nesting receipt of the oil filter manifold's annular bearing surface; (b) an oil sluice having an oil catch end and an oil drain end; and, (c) attaching means interconnecting the oil sluice and the bushing, the attaching means orienting the oil sluice so that, upon nesting receipt by the bushing of the oil filter manifold's annular bearing surface, the oil catch and oil drain ends of the oil sluice may respectively underlie the oil filter's oppositely lateral end and extend laterally from the motorcycle frame space, the bushing having a lateral face, the lateral face having a lower end, the lower end of the bushing's lateral face having an upper end, and further comprising an oil backflow dam, the oil backflow dam comprising said upper end. 3. The apparatus for laterally conducting oil within a motorcycle frame space of claim 2 wherein the oil back flow dam is oppositely laterally set into the bushing. 4. A method for laterally conducting oil within a motorcycle frame space, the motorcycle frame space being longitudinally bounded by a motorcycle engine, the motorcycle engine having at least a first protrusion extending oppositely longitudinally into the motorcycle frame space, the motorcycle frame space being oppositely laterally bounded by an oil filter manifold having an annular bearing surface, the oil filter manifold having removably attached thereto an oil filter, the method comprising steps of: (a) providing a bushing fitted for passage therethrough of the oil filter, the bushing being further fitted for nesting receipt of the oil filter manifold's annular bearing surface; (b) providing an oil sluice having an oil drain end and an oil catch end, the oil catch end of the oil sluice being fixedly attached to the bushing; (c) oppositely laterally extending the bushing into the motorcycle frame space; (d) further oppositely laterally extending the bushing over the oil filter; (e) nestingly receiving the oil filter manifold's annular bearing surface within the bushing; (f) removing the oil filter from the oil filter manifold and flowing the oil from the oil filter manifold and from the oil filter; (g) catching the oil upon the oil catch end of the oil sluice; and (h) laterally conducting the oil along the oil drain sluice toward the oil drain end; the oil sluice providing step further comprising provision of a sluice leveling notch extending oppositely longitudinally into the oil sluice, the sluice leveling notch being fitted for receipt of the motorcycle engine's at least first protrusion, and further comprising a step of manually rotating the bushing with respect to the oil filter manifold's annular bearing surface, and further comprising a step of receiving the motorcycle engine's at least first protrusion within the oil sluice's sluice leveling notch. 5. The method for laterally conducting oil within a motorcycle frame space of claim 4 further comprising a step of loosening the oil filter, said step being performed prior to the oppositely lateral extensions of the bushing. 6. The method for laterally conducting oil within a motorcycle frame space of claim 5 further comprising a step of placement of an oil catching basin or vessel beneath the oil drain end of the oil sluice.
