Engine oil filter change question!!!

[Damo_Sport]

hey all, i know how to change the oil and everything, even taking of the fuel guard rail

But from looking at it last night there are alot of cables below the oil filter. when i unscrew it wont it go everywhere? or is there a better way to take it of?

someone said its ok to just put cloth under it?

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, I use an old towel, just to catch the excess.

 

[Damo_Sport]

is it much? when i did my old saxo vts a fair bit used to come out of the oil filter

 

[Christopher]

Tilt the filter back, as you lift it away. There's a fair bit still in there... or there was in mine today.

 

[Damo_Sport]

hmm ok, il whack a old towel and a bit of tissue underneath it, il try and unscrew it as fast as i can and tilt it back

I just let it run down (whilst extracting the filter as quickly as possible once undone) leave it to drain for a few minutes, then give it all a blow off with brake cleaner, into the drain pan

there should be minimal spillage, any concerns i'l change it for u for £24.80! Alot cheaper than alot of the ''specialists''
