Been looking online
Can anyone make a recommendation? Prices are all over the place online. Just looking for 2 mats one for engine and one for rear.
Was thinking about something that I can easily wipe the oil up then hose off in the driveway.
Thanks

They last forever unless you run over them too may times.

Went to lowes and got the rubber carpet runner. $2.84 per foot. 3ft wide pic pic should make clean up easier. thanks | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | ....I'm so tight that I like things to last forever so i favor the metal pans, $10, from the local parts house. I also like them for doing brake work ect as it's a "catch all" for stuff that normally gets on the floor for clean up. I just wipe the pan off and continue to use it.

I buy the kitty litter filler at the grocery store to soak up the oil.
