Thxs for some very good suggestions ...

Well I think iam gonna get a gotcha stick ....
if that fails a shop vac 1/2" clear plastic tube

But more as an excercise if I was not able to get all the paper towel out
& filled with low life oil ran it for 15mins
would I not find the paper towel in bits pcs in the oil filter
the oil is under pressure & it has to pass the filter b4 going onto any
critial areas
do ya think the oil pump would  choke
or does the oil splash around on the bottom of the crankcase & maybe get
chewed up
and sprayed over bearings cranks etc
