Anyone have any tips and tricks for not making a mess when changing oil?

Years ago I gave up changing my own oil jut because it seemed no matter that I did there was going to be a bit of a mess, and it was just easier to pay a little extra to avoid it. Now I kind of want to try doing it again, so I want to figure out what needs to be done to avoid that. I always said a bigger collection pan with high sides would help immensely, but every single god damn one I see i stores or online has the wimpiest little walls and it just splashes everywhere. Any ticks and trips? submitted by /u/RedLeader501 [link] [comments]
