I don't know if this is applicable, but I throw it out in case it benefits
anyone.  The oil filter on my big Ford 6.9 liter diesel is mounted on a
angle and getting it off without making a huge mess was always a problem
until I heard this method:  Take an all and a hammer and punch a hole in the
lowest portion of the oil filter.  Let it drain into an oil catch basin
until it's empty.  THEN take it off.  No spilling.
