Honda 2000i tips and tricks for changing oil.
As the title says...any tips or tricks for not spilling any oil. I haven't mastered it yet, even though I got a little funnel that screws in I always seem to make a mess.

Have a pair of EU2000 since 2005 with a bazillion hours and oil changes once annually each fall.
I put the gens on 2x4 blocks on edge (which I have laying around) and tilt to drain into a dollar-store cat litterbox (basically a roughly 9x12x3" plastic container.) The EU2000 already has the little trough to direct the drainage. No extra parts purchased.
I use a tiny (cheap) funnel to refill, I think it was from WalMart or similar. I tilt it to the non-fill side and grossly overfill, then tilt level and drain the excess in to the litterbox via the built-in trough. There is very little waste overall but it works well for me. I am over 1k hours for both EU2000 gens and they run like new. You're overthinking it.
