I had an Oldsmobile with a cartridge filter. It stuck straight up into the oil pan.

I would pull the filter down to let oil drain out. Then push it back on. On my motor dirty oil would pool in a line somewhere. Pushing it back on would blow that out. Put some new motor oil on the seal of the new filter & push it back on.

I do believe that cartridge type filters have been around much longer than spin on filters. They are just making a comeback because of packaging issues.
