Fumoto valve for 2003 Ford E-350 V10 Class C
I just had my driveway redone in pavers. In the past,I did all repairs and servicing in my asphalt driveway. I have the stains to prove it. I would always drip oil on the driveway changing the oil ...

I used to make a bigger mess working the oil filter compared to the drain plug. I agree to use a large cardboard for a wind blocker and another for protecting the pavers.
To dramatically reduce the oil filter mess, while still mounted to the engine, I take a fine blade screw driver with hammer and pierce the filter on the bottom near an edge and let the oil drain out from it. A light tap will do it with the right screw driver (small and sharp), no concern of damage to anything else. It takes a while though. I'll make the hole, then do other things for 15 minutes or so.
Whether piercing the oil filter on the engine or afterwards, it's nice to dispose of a completely empty oil filter. Location of the hole is important to drain fast, on the bottom very close to the side. The metal is very thin on oil filters which makes it practical to do.
