You are trying to remove the oil filter without losing your new oil?

As long as you let the car sit, preferrably overnight, the only oil that will come out is the residual amount in the filter.

x0!

^^^ what he said.

if you don't have a filter wrench heres a little tip. get a phillips screw driver and stab your filter. punch the screw driver all the way through. now turn
