Filter Change w/o changing oil on 80 4cyl



    The 80 4 cylinder has a wonderfully placed oil filter.  Even when I do a
full out oil change when I remove the filter I always get spillage on the
floor, all over the subframe too.  Now I want to change my filter but leave
the Mobil1 in there for longer than 3k miles.  I have tried to use tuperware
underneath the filter to catch the oil, but there is still drippage over the
side of the tuperware, real pain in the butt.  I loosen the filter then let
it sit for 2-3 minutes then undo, then oil all over, not much, but annoying
enough.  Anyone who does 80 4cylinder filter changes have advice?
    Love my sister's 5ks, slowly undo and runs right into the pan.  No mess!

Thanks!
