How the devil do I change the oil filter on my BF40A without making a mess? Super absorbent towel?

"Roger - here is what was suggested to me for my 225. Have not tried it yet, but sounds reasonable.

1. Tilt engine up as far a possible.
2. Punch small air hole in top of filter.
3. Punch a larger hole in the bottom outside rim, which should now be the lowest point in the filter, since the engine is raised.
4. Place container under the hole you just punched and let the oil drain out that way.
5. Once all the oil is drained, remove the filter.

Still use shop towel or a wad of paper towels to absorb the excess, but that should be minimal."
