When doing an oil change on a 98 Toyota tacoma and removing the filter causes lot of to spew out all over place how can you avoid this?

There are a few ways to avoid oil spilling when changing the oil filter on a 1998 Toyota Tacoma:

- Use an oil filter wrench to loosen the oil filter. This will help to prevent the filter from slipping and spilling oil.

- Place an oil pan under the oil filter before removing it. This will catch any oil that spills out.

- Be careful not to over-tighten the oil filter. This can cause the filter to become damaged and leak oil.

- If the oil filter gasket sticks to the engine block, be sure to remove the gasket before installing the new filter. A new gasket is included with each new oil filter.

- If the oil filter gasket does stick to the engine block, use a flat-head screwdriver to carefully pry it off.

- Use a funnel to add new oil to the engine. This will help to prevent oil from spilling.
