Changing the oil on my Civic this past weekend, I balanced a little plastic pan (from some frozen or microwaved food package) on an A-arm under the oil filter before unscrewing it. All the oil that dripped, did so into that pan! I thought I was a genius (why haven't I been doing this the past 20 years?!) until I closed one of the car doors and the pan fell from its perch. Fortunately it landed partially in the large oil catch basin under the oil drain plug. But I still made a splash onto the concrete. All's well with kitty litter and a couple days, though.
