If you know how to change oil, it doesn't matter how far it "shoots" or how much comes out, it's easy to catch it. Step #1 is to make sure that you have a larger enough receptacle and that it's empty. It needs to be empty because if you are not sure how far the stream is going to shoot, you hold the container up and close to the drain plug and then gradually move it away and set it down where it needs to be on the ground. I do this all the time and never spill a drop, even from my 7.3 Powerstroke that releases 4 gallons of hot, dirty oil when the drain plug is removed.
