All cars will have an oil spillage, to some degree, when removing a filter that's either side or bottom mounted. The oil gallies above the filter have to drain out when removing the filter plus most screw on filters have an anti-drain back valve, which holds oil above them.

Jacking up the car will have no effect but if you take your time you'll have little or no mess.

Many times if you simply loosen the filter enough to dribble oil, it'll simply drain down the side into your pan until the gallies have drained out. Then put a bag around the filter and slowly remove it.

I've done this for 40 years and never had a big mess, if taking my time in doing it.
