Here is a little trick I use when I'm changing the oil and filter.
Slide a paper plate under the area below the oil filter resting on the frame so it drains into the oil pan below the engine drain plug.
Change your oil filter.
I spray the side of engine with brake cleaner after and let it drain into the drain pan as well.
Let the plate drain then remove and dispose of it.
DONE!

A simple and effective idea. I am getting ready to do an oil change, and was wondering about the mess it was going to make removing the oil filter.

Great idea. Thanks for the info and photo. Do the flowery ones work better than the plain ones we have?LOL

Yes. The flowers 💐 work better. Something about the colors against the black mess. That’s just what I heard,I don’t know for sure. 😂😂🥴🥴

We have some plates left over from a new years party. Will see if they might work. They are not as pretty as the ones you used though. LOL, thanks for the good tip Ponytail.
