For the love of toasted cheese sandwiches - why o why can't I ever change the oil without having to curse whilst running for the degreaser and rags?!!!
Any ideas?
I've tried the 'tin foil' thing!
Cheers, Diesel

I have also found that doing up the sump plug before pouring in the new oil works wonders

I find that if you spill the oil, then an old hair bristle broom is what you need. (It makes it easy to spread the oil evenly over the drive way so it can soak into the concrete. This allows even colouring, and water proof the drive nicely.
