I liked my GTI's oil filter - it was a cartridge filter (which are normally messy as ****) but there was a drain plug on the cap to drain everything before removing the cap itself. Great design, but you needed a 32mm socket to take the filter cap off - or you could crack it like it trying to use an adjustable wrench
