Respectfully disagree Dennis, I have a 2010 Silverado, the oil
canister filter is tucked next to the oil pan, vertically. I take a
large nail and puncture the bottom of the filter. While that drains
I move to the other side and drain the oil pan. By that time the
filter is drained and I can take it off with no leakage. You are
fortunate that your cap goes up, the one on my wife's car goes down.<br>

I had 2 vehicles with a cap like you describe. Once was a GMC
Terrain, and the other an ECODiesel. To me they are the best
filter arrangement I have seen in years. The cap comes off going
up, so oil drains back into the filter housing. Put a new filter
in the cap, install it, and tighten it. Having a special socket is
much easier than trying filter wrenches and unscrewing a filter
while oil drains all over whatever is below the filter.

My wife's Camry is like that, you need to take off an outer
housing and the filter is then removed separately. I change
my own oil, and it's a royal PIA. Not to mention I needed to
buy a special tool to fit on the housing to remove it, and
then torque it down to 22 ft lbs when I am done. Not sure
what the engineers were thinking when they threw that design
into the equation.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I worked on a slide former 20 years ago that stamped the oil filter outer skins. Back in the fifties, the filter fit inside a reusable canister.
