I stand on a plastic milk crate supplied by a Dairy as it was being bought out. I position my catch-container directly underneath and unscrew the filter allowing the outer end to tip down as it is removed. I get maybe a few drops on the side of the engine. Never tried it without the catch container (It would be the total contents with my luck)

I pour new oil into the new filter until it is about 1/3 full. I use Mobil-1 301 (Large size) filters. I then lower it into the engine bay mount side up. I tilt it into position and start the threads. I don't spill any using this method.

I only drain the oil from the bottom. All other work is done top side

No oil-bath for me.
