I do the same deal as Murf and wrap the passenger side header with aluminum foil before twisting off the old filter. This way the engine can be run to op temp to remove as much particles as possible. The particles tend to drop into areas of the engine and not flow out with the oil when the engine is cold. Wrap the header with foil, run the engine and then drain. Fill the new oil filter with oil before installing to help the engine prime faster after the oil change. If you get any oil on the header or pipes you might try using spray brake cleaner to hose it off before starting the engine. It won't cut the paint and gets into the crevasses around the pipe collector that you'll never be able to wipe with a rag.

Ditto on the foil trick on my TA.

Learned something new about filling the filter with oil, didn't know to do that.

just get the header dirty, then get some gunk degreaser and spray the header off when done with the oil change

I cover the headers with aluminum foil. It works for me.

I did the remote kit, had to add 5 ft hoses to put the filter on the wheel well cover, sure makes it easy to change oil, with no mess

I always put a old rag over the header but I'm going to be doing the plastic bag trick from now on too. I wouldn't have thought about doing that in a 1000 years. LOL. Thanks for the tip.
