I typically change my oil with various cars up on plastic ramps, so there isn't a lot of room under there. I find that the oil drain pan I have used for years always creates splashes of oil, particularly if the oil is hot and flowing fast: https://www.autozone.com/shop-and-garage-tools/oil-drain-pan/p/flotool-drain-pan-16-quart/700706_0_0
Is there a better drain pan that cuts down on the splashes of hot oil all over the place? One way I mitigate this is to slide a plastic tarp under the car first. It makes it easy for me to slide under the car to do the work and catches the splashes, but it would be nice to not have a mess to clean up after each oil change.
