Oil related, system clog?

[Spooln2]

Use a screw driver to poke a hole in the filter(right before you take it off) and it will drain better. That is what I do for the dripping all over thing. It works great for me. I had the same problem but my pressure is good. I don't think low pressure would be the culpret here.

First, spilling oil like that is normal.
If you want to minimize the spilling, just wait a few hours after you've driven the car or...overnight.
Yes, I realize that some people recommend running the engine just prior to draining the oil, but you still got a shitload of oil sitting in the oil cooler which isn't going to be removed in a normal oil change.

Second, always check your oil pressure with a known, good mechanical oil pressure gauge.
Stock oil pressure senders tend to go back pretty frequently, so always confirm first.
