Any way to change the oil filter on my 2009 without getting oil dripping all over the place? The catch tray under the filter doesn't work very well.

Even w/ stuffing rags under the filter guide tray, you
still get some what of a mess. Poor design.

Punch a hole in the filter and let it drain a while before removing it!

Have a good one.. Don S..

I usually use/cut a piese of cardboard to divert the oil stream to a container.
