<VV> 90 Degree Oil Filter Mount

>>>>>Another thing that works is to take off the adapter *with* the filter (i.e., unscrew the bolt on top). The oil doesn't leak out as much as long as you hold the filter + adapter in the same position as they were when attached to the car. Then, when you've taken the whole thing out of your engine compartment, you can 1) turn the filter upright, 2) unscrew the filter from the adapter, 3) spill out the oil into your changing pan.

I would add 4) Mop up the AC pulley, rear housing, and skid plate, because Murphy's Law says you will not get the filter and adapter out of there without spilling.

At least that's how it works for me.  :-(
