Steven,
While I've been accused of being shallow <grin> I can drain, and change the
filter on two of my four vehicles with the car on the ground because I can
do it all from the top. I do not need to go under the car to do any part of
the oil change. My standard drain pan does not fit under my 1960 Triumph
TR3 (lowered too much) but then again, the TR3 barely clears a speed bump.
The front is coming back up 5/8 of an inch this winter.
Jack

Don't you have to lift the car? I am definitely thicker than the pan. If I
can fit in to undo the drain plug, then the pan will fit. You must be two
dimensional. Literally, not in the insulting way. :-)
