Regardless of that plastic straw, it is just messy. Then, in process of releasing oil I somehow always manage to get some oil on exhaust pipe that runs there, and than regardless that clean it with tissue and I pressure wash it after, it smells for several days on burnt oil.
I have an Avalon hybrid with the filter like that and agree it can be a mess. I don't even use the straw; just undo it and let it drip a bit, then unscrew it the rest of the way. I read the straw instructions and thought "This is not going to end well"
which probably says more about me than I want to reveal but...So, old school it is.
Suggestion: when done, use brake cleaner to spray the splatters/drips. I often have used brake cleaner (on this and other cars over the last 50+ years) on a paper towel or shop towel to do a wipe down, especially on an exhaust pipe of any sort or where it can drip on one, e.g., from a frame member or control arm. It gets rid of almost all the oil mess so no waiting for it burn off.
HTH
Did not think of that. Have CRC brake cleaner collecting dust anyway.
I did without straw=messy. Then I was like: well, obviously they figured out this is better way=still messy.
