Anybody have any good oil change tips / suggestions?

Replace the drain plug with a Fumoto valve. You can even get one with a nipple so you can attach tubing. Makes oil changes very easy and less messy. My only vehicle that doesn't have one is my rock crawler since there is a chance it would get hit.

i have these under the pan. They're called Chux. walgreens, walmart carry them

My garage floor is covered with every spare piece of largish cardboard that comes my way. I have a few appliance sized mats of cardboard. They don't soak up real well, but as long as the spill stays on the cardboard, then I don't care. If they get too bad, then I can trash them and get more for free out of the dumpster of any hardware or appliance store.

Seen these back in my car forum days, but never picked one up. Where do you get yours?

Cool. But not fool/failproof. I'd be afraid of a fail or a rotten person.

I think I got mine from Amazon.
