Oil filter change mess?
When I change my oil and motorcraft oil filter it a big mess😬
I punched 3 holes with a awl in the filter bottom middle,lower side, top side and drain till stops.
Then when I unscrew the filter it flows over the top and makes a big mess.
What do I have to do so it doesn’t flow over top when I unscrew the filter.

My 88 ranger, my two 6.9 IDI trucks, and even the smallblock chevy in my boat all do the same when you remove the darned oil filter..I think it's just what vertically mounted oil filters do..
I just stick the pan under it, loosen it until it starts oozing out, and let it drain for a bit, then I remove the filter..

This is the same technique I follow, after punching a hole in the bottom and letting it drain. I have a very clean oil change this way.
