actually, if you start the oil drain and go off and do something else for 30-45 minutes almost all of the oil will be out of the oil filter attachment. someone mentioned using plastic grocery bags on this thread and I double bagged two today and used them (did two 900 oil changes) and it worked even better than the gallon ziploc. first get the filter loose so that it will only need a little more to be able to "spin", then put the bag under it and then spin. I was doing auto trans filter exchange with a drain so didn't get back to the top of the car for almost an hour, the filter (saab brand of course!) was half empty. Put another Saab filter on (after oiling the gasket with a finger dip from the new oil) , a new washer on the 13mm drain plug, tightened with a six point socket to firm, filled with mobil-1, did the transmission and then went to the 5 speed turbo did the oil change and did the 5 speed too, all mobil-1.
