Doing the oil change hot is a must. And best to flush as well. And as for
spill from the filter... Once the filter is removed the oil drains from the
sump much faster and if you don=B9t want to do that, undo the filler up top.
Don=B9t worry about slight spill from the filter. Oil is a great rust
preventative.
