Aboslutly right Jon! On my '92 there is NO way from the top. I found that
I jsut loosen the filter and let it drip awhile I can at least catch most of
it. Once the dripping subsides I'll remove it as quickly as possible.

PS - Anyone else notic the Fram filter adds for the filter with the Teflon
already installed???? Like adding Slick 50 (et al) every oil change - or so
says the add. Now why ruin a prerfectly decent oil change?
