Make sure Roger it's of a heavier duty not just a sandwich wrap. "Untorque" the filter without the bag. Stuff couple paper towels in the bag. The filter will get a bit slippery inside it's several turns with oil still in it. Watch the bottom constantly guard the bag against lower filter housing lip. Turn the filter inside not the bag.If you have new filter ready the whole process of swapping could be done in four minutes or less.

Buying something is cheating....... Steve - I like the way you think. My milk jug works OK, but I like your more permanent solution. I'll come over and make a template...

One of the best things I've brought for my toolbox. Simple no mess. Plus designed by a fellow RV builder.

Plus one on form a funnel. I also use the ziplock bag. Even with belt and suspenders I still can make quite a mess when I trip over the oil bucket.

1) It will hold a filter full of oil
2) The light plastic is flexible so it can be squezzed into the space with slight deformations
3) Basically a FREEBIE!!

ymmv

Ditto here. This is what I use.

Yes, it is cheating..... but it is so easy and clean, and you never deal with hot oil in a bag or milk carton that you are trying to manipulate out from behind the crowded oil filter location.

This thing is so easy to use..... punch a hole in top of filter. Install clamp. Install drain hose. Rotate filter 1/2 turn..... move on to drain plug.

Nothing to clean up after.
