How to change the oil filter on an ‘01 Camry without spilling oil?

Joe asked:


On the 2001 Camry, the oil filter sits near the front of the engine on a downward angle. Every time I unscrew the filter, a bunch of oil just spills out on the front of the engine (because of the downward angle).

Is there a way to fully drain the oil filter or unscrew this so I don’t have the unnecessary clean up?

      The air replaces the base of the air replaces the air replaces the base of the filter will allow it terrible design on toyotas part.
      The oil also try wrapping rag around the filter before unscrewing it terrible design on toyotas part.
