Some of these suggestions are ridiculous! BLOODY RIDICULOUS!!! Drain oil into a clean container and then put back in?! RIDICULOUS!

Jambo's super-chilling technique has a scientific merit while the idea of changing it while popping a wheelie appeals to my deluded over confident adrenalin junkie side. Still favour the pop and swap for the simplicity and risk factor. I will film it!!! :D

I just put on a pair of marigolds, undid the plug carefully and thumbed the hole.
Lost a whiff of oil but nowt really.

Take the shed up in the space shuttle
Or drill a hole to the center of the earth and do it there.
Under weightless conditions the surface tension will keep all the oil in the engine.
