This is for the guys who have changed there own oil, any tricks to changing the filter, i scoped it out and it looks like a tough place to get too (2002 IS300), i can get my hand in there from the top and get the filter off but any oil left in there is going to get all over.

 

i have not changed my oil but I've heard from other people that you should place a ziplog bag over the filter to prevent the spillage..check is300.net and do a search for more details...
