Front Engine Oil Filter Draining

Thanks, I use that method for filters that angle down from the adapter, but mine angles up at about a 45 degree angle. Maybe if I get the bag opening close enough to the adapter/case interface that will work.

Update: I managed to get the filter off without spilling a drop. I have to remove the intercooler for access to the filter, though, so I'd still like to find a way to drain it prior to removal.
