no mess filter removal
another tip from my Noria weekly e-mail;
No-mess Filter Removal
This technique will help avoid a mess when changing your vehicle's oil and filter. Horizontally cut a recycled two-liter plastic pop bottle in two pieces, about halfway up. Slide either half over the loosened filter and spin the filter until it is unthreaded and drops off. Hold the cupped filter in position for a minute or two in order to catch any leakage from the filter housing before removing. I have found that it has eliminated most of the mess even on a nearly horizontally mounted filter.
Hope it helps someone. (I've never thought of it)

Its "pop" here in Michigan, but over and up in Wisconsin and Minnesota I believe they call it "soda." Things get rather weird in Wisconsin. I heard they call a traffic light a "Stop and Go" and a drinking fountain a "bubbler."
