Owen - What I do with Winged1 is to fashion a little "deflector
chute" from any piece of cardboard I have laying around. My
situation is a little worse than yours due to the rear sway bar that
I have installed on the lower surface of the frame cross-member. If
you jam the cardboard up against the frame, it will deflect the oil
stream downwards into the pan. For the filter, you can do the same
thing by jamming a piece of cardboard under the filter before you
loosen it. The oil will drip down onto the cardboard into the pan,
leaving the engine block fairly clean. I hope this helps.
