No, don't wanna take the chance and burn yourself if some gets on you. I never have loosen the oil cap.
I just jack the car up. Go under take off the old filter and let the shit drain in the pan till the flow is gone and it is a drip every now and then. Lube up the gasket on the new one. Get like a paper towel and wipe any possible dirt from the rim of where you screwing the filter onto. Then put it hand tight, then tighten it a tad bit more with the filter ratchet. Then i go under the oil pan, and the bolt is on the passenger side of the car. Unscrew it slowly and try to keep hold of it as it comes out and let all the oil drain in the pan again (if you drop the bolt its no big deal just a pain in the ass to retrieve it out of the pan and having to clean it.) Then tighten the bolt back in place. Lower the car back down. Then i unscrew the oil cap fill it back up with the new oil.
The clean up is the worst part. Pour the old oil into the empty bottle and wipe down the oil pan. Then your done!
