No-splash oil drain pan?

The valves don't stop splashing when you take off the oil filter, though that is less of a problem. Still need an oil pan of some sort to do the filter.
 
I have two "traditional" style drain pans. A 7.5qt Blitz (05070?) and a 7qt (🤣) OP-1 Flotool. The higher walls of the Blitz definitely contain splashes better than the Flotool.

A large piece of cardboard, higher walled drain pans and a 26x18 aluminum sheet pan placed under the drain pan is the easiest solution for me. Everything (except the cardboard) can be washed out and stored for next time.
 
I have seen this equivalent technology in the bottom of various urinals.... a screen/pad with pointy/fingers that the flow hits and doesn't splash. No idea what they are called. I imagine someone could craft a DIY thing using spare nuts/bolts/wire/etc to do the same thing in an oil pan.
