Not too bad, really. It's basically empty so...just a small amount trickles out...I usually just put a shop rag underneath to catch what little comes out.

If the filter has an anti drainback valve, it shoud be full of oil. Punching a hole in the top of the filter will allow the oil to drain down.

Maybe I mis-read or misunderstood post #4 where it mentioned that there wasn't an anti-drainback valve on these filters...or was that just for the Fram listed?

It does not restrict normal flow of the oil.
