Anybody have any good oil change tips / suggestions?

I use these to minimize drips and spills. Drain pan on top of the drip pan and don't let the pour catch an edge inside the drain pan. Usually pour the old oil back into the 5qt jug the new oil came in. I do that on top of the drip pan with a big funnel on top. Having a drain pan that has pouring corner helps too. I hold the pan high so the pour is narrow near the funnel. I also have kitty litter and pig mats on standby just in case.

I prefer to just drive over a 5 gallon bucket and drain the oil straight into it.

There are probably a few Italian convertibles I could drive over...

(but I'd probably have to put it in Low range)

I'll add a +1 for the Fumoto quick-drain valves. I just ordered a few of them for some of our family cars that don't have them. They've got a new design where the hose nipple (yes, I just said nipple) is removable so it's less likely to snag on anything. I think I like that concept. I hate it when my nipples get all snaggy.

^^ Tow truck driver crawls out from under your wife's vehicle and says, "What can I say ma'am, looks like you snagged your nipple on a rock."
