Tired of making a mess every time I change the oil on my gen set mep803a. Does anyone make an adapter to mount to block to turn oil filter 90 degrees so it’s vertical rather than horizontal?

I put a piece of pigmat under it and a red solo cup around it once I break it loose. The little bit that doesn't get caught easily cleans up with a spray of brake parts cleaner.

I like @Jeepadict's pigmat suggestion.

I use a small leftover fast food tray.

It seems to work for me, and is reusable for many filters. YMMV.

All the best,
