I tried all the things mentioned on here and none really worked. Dawg sent out a link for this cool thing that works like a charm. It's green, plastic coated and fairly firm so you can twist, bend and roll it into almost any shape you like. This works perfectly! Just shape it and slide it under your oil filter and aim the bottom part to your container and, poof, no mess!!

I first let it drain from the oil pleug awhile then I cut a 2 liter soda bottle and slide over the filter after I have loosened it. This does not necessarily stop the spillage, but it keeps it to a minimum. I then spray the area with gunk or carb cleaner and water to get any spillage off.

On my Toyota Tacoma I have to reach up on the passenger side of the motor and try not to get fried on the header. With what little room i have ...i have to break loose the filter and unscrew it fast and get it down out of there (while laying on my back) because all the hot oil runs down my arm and usually reaches my pit. Im talking alot of oil too....oh and if i accidently tip the filter i get that much more oil down my arm.

Nice setup, but you better hope you don't ever have to tighten the clamps on those oil lines while you're on the road, LOL...
