...in a dark alley somewhere. I changed the oil today for the first time and what a mess it was! The placement of that oil filter is ridiculous. It's right in between the motor mount and the heat shield. There's absolutely no room to get any kind of wrench other than a cap fitting one in there. Even when you get it loose the threads are so long that by the time you get it off there is oil all over the frame and motor mount.
How do others get that filter offwithout a mess?
Take the filter off very slowly and it wont be nearly as messy.

That's just too funny! HOW slow? Ten hours? Gotta left the car sit overnight, buddy. Let the intake pipe drain.
You're not a "wiz", you're a "diz".
If I did that it would spill more oil out.
