Rich, poke a hole in the top bottom of the filter, and let it drain down, then pump out the oil, no fuss no muss.easy to keep it clean then

Like Offshore Drillin said, after you punch the hole in the "bottom" of the filter,loosen it up a little and let it vent. I usually let this happen the whole time I am sucking the oil out and putting the new oil in. By that time its usually empty enough to not make a mess. Just make sure when you punch the hole that you go about 4" deep into the filter. Also put a raga round the bottom and you should be golden.

I have a large sharpened screwdriver for the task. Make sure you pop the hole in there with the screwdriver and hammer, and do not drill a hole.
P.S. John/Pwrbt33 taught me this trick.

Or you can always do it the right way,,,go into any of your stock car magizines(Circle Track) etc and order a remote filter setup and mount it where it suits you...Personally mounted an Oberg cleanable filter setup in my 24ft DCB I cad back in 99.

After loosening the filter,I remove two 5/16 screws from the oil filter mount and turn everything over. Then I put a baggy over the filter and unscrew it. I lost about three drops of oil doing it this way last time.
