On the CanyonStar V10 the oil filter is directly above the front axle. Consequently during oil changes it gets messy. I've thought to punch a hole in the oil filter and drain it, but the oil filter mounting flange still drips after the filter is removed.

I've seen people employ these formable funnels to good effect.

My current practice is Pig Pads and a cut off gallon plastic container to catch the filter and drips. My only complaint is managing all the pieces takes time and is not fool proof. Managing a partially filled gallon plastic container balanced on the front I beam is tiresome.

The funnel might allow me to position the catch container on the ground.

 
I've seen these. Never used one though...........
 
I own one, never used it
 
Seems like a bigger potential mess. I’ve used a cut piece of vinyl tubing clamped onto the bottom of a funnel in tight spaces. Make the tube as long as it needs to be, just make sure the outer diameter is smaller than the fill hole.
