With Subarus the oil filter is mounted on top of the engine.
One would need to try really hard to make a mess with that.
On my Subarus, I have installed a Fumoto valve.
I slide a plastic tube onto the valve and put the other end in my Walmart oil drain container.
A quick turn of the valve gets the hot oil flowing while I change the filter up top.
When it stops flowing I close the valve and pour in the new oil.
This results in the cleanest oil change ever!
The laconia transfer station, which I believe is in Meredith, takes my waste oil for free.
