Its the same method I use and works flawlessly for about free in price.

I slip the tin foil under mine, punch a hole in the bottom part of the filter, let it drain for a bit, R&R the oil filter and not one spilled drop of oil.
all these are good ideas. however i wouldnt recommend any type of solvent or cleaner as it tends to dry out the rubber bushing in the front motor mount. then as time goes by the mount crushes the rubber and the mount fails. soap and water is best
Cut a 1 liter/quart diet Pepsi bottle in half and slip it under the filter...Works great you spill a drop...
The kids drink regular pepsi but I will change if I have to. I learned the hole in the filter trick here on the forum and between the two it works. I loosen the filter enough before punching the hole so I can spin it off by hand after it drained.
