Changing Oil Filter
Archie, The hole punch works really well on our Monk, especially since the filter is upside down. What were they thinking? I'm convinced that people who design this stuff never have to use it. I do put pads in a big plastic bag and push it under the filter so that the minute it's unscrewed it drops right into the bag. Just remember to put tape on the hole otherwise you will have a mess.
Oil absorbing sheets bale of 100 for about $30 on Amazon.
You can try the hole punch method but for my inverted filter that just made more mess. As an alternative: Prep the new filters. Spin those filters off fast one at a time with oil sheets under and into a bucket. One filter off, new filter spun into place because oil will ooze out of the open housing, then onto the second. You also might be able to get a “form-a-funnel “ under the filter flange to catch the drippings.
