Contain Oil From Oil Filter Change?

[Aonar]

Going to try some of the listed ideas. The one thing I do now is use a turkey baster to suck out the oil that sits in the cup, once the filter is removed.

I’ve changed the oil four times now and I have yet to spill a drop from the filter. I don’t even bother with jamming a rag under it anymore.

Start your process by loosening the oil filler cap and then loosen the canister slowly until you slightly break the seal (you’ll feel it), stop and leave it just like that while you go under and pull the drain bolt. I usually let it drain for 20 minutes. Then go and slowly remove the canister. It’s not super easy but very doable.

What he said. The best thing I have found has been patience. I will back my filter off a little and let it sit. After it has sat for 20-30 min I pull it out the rest of the way. Giving it time allows for any oil in the filter to collect in the bottom of the filter housing.
