For those that have a horizontal mounted filter that seems to have no good way to change without getting oil everywhere but where it needs to be, in the drain pan, try this method.
Loosen the filter until it can just be turned by hand with some effort. Drill a hole in the side of the filter near the bottom at 12:00 O'clock. Be certain to drill through both sections of the filter. Form a funnel of aluminum foil or other handy material placed under the filter then rotate filter counter clockwise 180° and the oil goes into the drain pan.
