Do nothing to the top part with the "wool;" its best not to even turn this 
part upside down.  Place it on a clean suface (newspaper) while you just 
clean out the oil from the bottom part and wipe out any gunk that has 
settled to the bottom of the old oil. Then fill to the line (that's about 
1/2" deep, up to the little rim around the inside) with clean oil.
