I stick a plastic disposable paint roller tray cover under my oil filter
before I remove it.
Small enough to fit under everything, big enough to catch drips, and really
cheap.

Speaking of making oil changes easier, my Merc 165 has a spin on filter
stuck on the side. It's the white thing on the left in this photo:

Is there any easy way to change that without making a mess?
