Since it is your first oil change, and since, as others here have mentioned, a lot of oil comes out really quickly, I would advise that you grab yourself a large cardboard box and tear it down. Place it on the ground under your drain pan. Have a few shop rags around just in case. After a few oil changes you won't need the cardboard anymore. You can search " oil change mess floor" and read a whole bunch of stories that will have you laughing for a while regarding this very topic. It's a right of passage. Good luck
