Yeah, the garage usually looks like 4 year old tried to change the oil. One time my wife looked around and said, "What happened?" like it was a crime scene.
I suppose the stars aligned for this oil change. Here's what I did (and it's nothing fancy):
Drain plug: With one hand, I held the empty 10qt waste reservoir in the air, just below the drain plug. With the other hand, I unscrewed the drain plug. As the oil came out, I gently lowered the reservoir to the floor and followed the stream as it dwindled.
Oil filter: I held a medium size funnel just under the back of the filter housing, while I unscrewed the housing with a socket wrench extension. As the housing started to come loose, I held it in place and let the oil drain into the funnel, which then dripped into the waste reservoir below. I jiggled the housing a bit until no more oil drained (about a minute).
And there you go. All it takes is evidently using one hand to unscrew while the other hand directs the oil into a waste container. I'm certain for the next oil change, my garage will return to its usual crime scene status.
I thought the reason you did not leave any oil in the garage was you left it on the track in Daytona!!!! LOL
