How to remove the oil filter without getting your hands dirty

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Oil filter

A tip for those who have the oil filter on the bottom of the car, and are tired of opening the filter and getting the old oil all over their jacket sleeve. Of course - we recommend this with all our hearts - we should only do this operation after getting a new filter, with a gasket. Holding the filter for replacement, we can try putting a basin under the filter, and then with a nail, puncture the bottom of the filter to drain all the dirty oil inside. Once drained, we can remove it and replace it with the new one, without getting our hands dirty.
