I think bigdeal's autocorrect got him. It's a Fumoto valve not a FoMoCo valve. I have had one on every car and truck since I read about it here years ago. A big thank you to whoever suggested these.

Can you break it loose, then slip a plastic bag around it and spin it off and contain the oil?

On our Honda Odyssey, I drain the oil first. Then, I move the drain pan under the filter. Next, I remove the filter and set it on the pan to drain. After I put the new filter on, I wipe down the area. Any oil that remains is classified as rust inhibitor.

I can do this in about 15 minutes. Punching a hole in the filter will probably work but you will still spill some oil.

This. I’ve had Hondas for years and never had any oil dripping on the driveway after an oil change. Just takes a small shop towel to mop up the side of the block and just below after the new filter goes on.

Perhaps loosen to just where it starts to, then let it drain a minute or three around/on the filter? Should at least give one point of slower drip off the bottom of the filter to manage.

On a 90’s Mustang that also drained right onto the suspension and steering I always used a piece of foil too. Shaped to a small gully could keep that clean and direct flow into pan. That may help.
