I stick a plastic disposable paint roller tray
cover under my oil filter before I remove it.

Good thinkin'. I use an old cookie sheet under the engine when I change oil.
It keeps it from dripping into the bilge, but I still have clean up the
block and oil pan where it runs down the side from the filter.

It's not as bad as my Taurus, which has a frame member directly under the
filter so that oil runs down the frame and drips over an area that's bigger
than any of the pans I have.
