Subaru Filter Removal

Anyone have magical ways to remove the upside down Subaru filters without having oil fill the entire saucer thing they're mounted in? I try to remove all the crud from the saucer mounting doohickey before removal, but it's different to get all the dirt and gravel out. Then it fills with oil from the filter and I cringe. Quick put the new filter on and use 689 paper towels to sop all the oil out of the filter mount part saucer thingy.
Good Morning HowAboutThis,
The filter will completely drain in 15 minutes. I learned this through the Baxter Performance website video.
As soon as you've shut off the engine start your oil draining and in 15 minutes reinstall the plug. Remove your oil filter and you find it comes off with no mess.
