I wish that was the case, but it isn't. I recently did an oil change on my Box up on my new lift, using an 8 gallon roll-around oil drain container with a huge funnel on top of a four foot tube. You know, like the pro places have.
It still splashed out and on the floor. Not a big puddle, but a bunch of little drops. I moved the funnel slightly and got it to stop splashing, but that big stream of oil is a pain to deal with. I'm going to put something in the funnel to break up the stream before it hits the bottom, like a piece of coarse screen or some expanded metal.
It is nice being able to stand up under the car and work on it.
