It does suck.

Some, heh. I spill a ton! My 4X4 has brackets right below it that just
love to let the oil run down them and all over the place....I cuss
everytime I pull the filter!

No, but I think about it every time I change the oil. I have looked at
some, but with the rubber hose that comes in the kit I imagine that
you lose some oil pressure. Stainless steel hoses might eliminate that
problem, and the possibility of a hose touching the exhaust
manifolds...
