Messy oil filter changes
Drain the oil out of the pan first. Now, make sure the filter can turn but do not unscrew. Use an awl to poke a hole in the top edge of filter furthest from the engine(Imagine the area where your bottom lip would be when drinking from a beer can). Place drip pan under filter and turn it 180° so the hole is facing down. Oil will slowly start to drip out. Now put another hole on the now top edge of filter(same location as first) to let air in so the oil drains better. When all oil has dripped out, get a sandwich sized zip-lock bag and place around filter and continue to unscrew.
