After that I know at what angle to the drain plug screw and hole I need to put the pan. For me this model here works fine.
My previous one was a different much older design, shallower with smaller center hole. It was prone to make some spills.
I used the one here a week ago on a 4.5 qt capacity engine I've worked on for 5 years and the only mess was a bit of oil residue on the pan surface after it drained. That is as designed and a rag fixed that.

Here is a question for the group. When you go back to the store to recycle, seems like it is a pita for them (and me) to have them go into the back to empty it out. Staff is always busy at auto parts store. Leaving refilled bottles on the counter and taking off much easier?
And yes, it leaks like everyone else here has stated.
I like the recommendation for the pan with the grate. Sounds much cleaner.

Would be nice if there is a silicone coated oil pan
After the first use where I did the oil and transmission fluid, the elevated neck/pan performed well with no accidental splashes, spills, splatters, etc. to clean up after.

This is the only place I've found this particular model. There are some similar adjustable height options, but this one seemed like the best candidate out of the ones I saw.
Not a slick deal, but figure it might help someone.

Would this work to drain differential fluid?
If I remember correctly, the catch pan can also be inserted directly into the drain pan, so the profile of the unit isn't much higher with it attached than without. (it's stored away til next change or i'd confirm 100%) I think I checked that feature also during set up because I was also wondering/concerned about that.
I ended up using one extension arm and rhino ramps on a mid size suv when I used it. I still had another extension arm to add more height if the situation called for it.
The extensions are threaded, so it also allows the heights to be fully adjustable and not just limited to fixed heights of the extension pieces.
The rotatable drain catch attachment also made it easier to position the drain pan for my oil filter change since the filter was near the tire. This set up gave me more flexibility where I could easily adjust/rotate the catcher into place without having to worry about the drain pan's position in relation, where some pans might run into spacing problems with a rhino ramp there.
I stopped DIY oil changes a while ago due to many of the issues mentioned throughout the thread, and decided cheap oil changes from WM were an acceptable alternative.
I decided I wanted to start DIY again to ensure quality control.
I love SDs, but decided the extra money for this model was worth it due to time saved from clean ups.
No regrets with my decision after my first time using it.
Glad to hear you gave it a shot. TU
The pressure of the oil coming out of the drain pan immediately after the drain plug is removed is just enough on my cars to help it jump off the catch pan. Hated that.
I store it upright so far no leak, Im happy with the purchase. Maybe overtime the material deteriorate and leak but I m not going to store those used oil for long, probably will dispose them this weekend.
My car is highlander 2015.

Something like this is what you need. No mess, easy to pour into a real oil container.
