Thanks for the information. I wouldn't take the belly pan off, far too many fasteners. It is pretty easy to cut a piece of cardboard and fold it to force oil flow down. You have a little to wipe off with a rag but it works well. Once you have the design, I would cut a piece of thin sheet metal to the shape and put it with the oil change stuff.
