That is what I do. In addition, since I don't have a vacuum pump, I pull the
propeller through six complete revolutions backwards. This is supposed to
suck the oil out of the filter. Seems to work in that I don't have to wait
an hour (or hours) for the oil filter to drain. I was told not to do this if
you have a vacuum pump as the vanes don't like to be rotated backwards.

Fly for 30 minutes or when you get back from a trip and everything is still
hot, drain the oil and then punch a couple of holes in the oil filter.  Let
it sit overnight.  When you remove the oil filter, you may even avoid that
drop as well..

The item on the right side is the drain (which you connect a clear plastic
line to). It has a clip which actuates the valve inside the item on the left
when the drain is screwed onto the valve. I have one of the on my Legacy and
another on my IV-P. The only time I ever spill a drop of oil is from
removing the oil filter.
