My salesperson suggested leaving the oil filling cap on to create a vacuum so the oil doesn't flow as quickly.
Because the drain plug is mounted horizontally on the CB500s, it can be a messy process. I bought a Fumoto oil draining valve.

After installing it oil changes were quicker and much less messy.
An inexpensive oil draining container from Walmart also eliminates a lot of clean up and oily paper towels.

When done simply pour the oil from that container into plastic jug and take it to the closest oil recycling facility. I used an empty windshield washer jug the first time, and then the empty Honda 4 liter oil containers after that. The Walmart container does not need to be cleaned, just capped for the next time.
