Usually don't spill at all.
Reverso system here as well for engines and genset. oil discharge is handled thru three 5 gallon containers which I empty into our marina recycling tank. I add the clean oil (5 gallons) per side for engines via a funnel 1 gallon at a time to avoid spills. The oil filters are easy on my Volvo engines as they are mounted upright and drain down into the block. Engines are easy, just need to remember that the genset has its own open/shut valve for discharge
