Speaking from experience, doing it on the car is doable, but I would not recommend it. There really is a ton of metal going to get inside your oil pan. It is such a large hole, and there are so many shavings produced, you can't help but get some in the oil. I even took my oil control tray in the sump out to celan out the shavings under it. If your confident that the filter will pick them all up, which may be the case and all is good then I'd go for it. But I guarantee your will get some inside the oil pan no matter how careful you are.

An engine needs to stay to stay surgically clean inside, like the human body.
