I stuffed a wad of paper towels under the filter,and still got a splash on
my glasses.I don't know why they don't position the filter so it does not
empty when removed.

Marty,
That's good to hear but I agree with Mike's contention that removing the oil
filter is more of a messy ordeal than the drain plug.

it's easy: warm the engine as you normaly would before a change, go
indoors and have lunch, come out, remove filter. while you're eating,
the filter drains. no more spill.

My old Cessna 182 had on of those things. It was up under the cowling
where nothing could hit it . You also had to safety wire it closed. I
don't think I would trust one in the open and without a positive lock
closed.
