Looking for recommendations for the above, fed up just using an old bucket?
Thanks

I put this down first to prevent oil splashing onto my drive:

Then I put an old washing up bowl on top of the splash tray to catch the oil.
I also use one of my wife's old baking trays under the oil filter.

You can't beat an old washing up bowl and an old old funnel from the kitchen.

Couple of bits of timber under it so the wind can't blow the dregs over the side of the bowl and you are sorted.

I use an old kitchen bowl, a 25 litre old oil container, and a piece of plastic on the floor first. Empty the oil into the 25 litre plastic container through a funnel. When full, I take the old oil to the recycle centre. Easy Peasy and costs nothing. Yes I know I am a tight wad. Been doing the same thing for around 30 years.

The above method is best, funnel and kitchen bowl.

Clean out the oil filter pot as well.
