Default How do you?

Just wondering what you guys do to keep the oil from dripping all over the engine bay when you change the filter? Last time i molded foil to direct it to the ground and was looking for other ideas you fella's came up with.

Just let it run down and spray it off real good with brake parts cleaner and wipe it off. Cool idea with the foil though, how well did it work?

My thought was to some how pipe the filter into that space where the smic is so all i would need to do is pull the vent and change it. This of course would'nt happen till i got a fmic.
