No doubt. I cover half the garage with cardboard cuz I'm bound to step in something and it would look like a crime scene when I'm done. I don't think I open the valve to full spill for the same reason. I still like the convenience of not having to pull out the jack. Oil changes for me are usually pull the plug and come back in two days to wrap up. I get sidetracked easily.
