Low profile oil pan?

Does anyone have or know about an oil pan that will fit under an MCS without putting the car on ramps or a jack?

I have a pan from autozone that fits under.
Nothing special, just a big low pan. I have had it for a couple of years so I don't know if they still carry it.

Oh, an oil DRAIN pan! I was confused for a minute there.

I still have to ramp or jack mine up, just so I can reach the drain plug.

I have a fumoto valve, so I can reach it and drain the oil without jacking the car up. It would be nice if I could eliminate my ramps from my oil change for good.

You know there is one great advantage to having to get the car up, so you can get under.

Take the time to have a look around, and see if anything under the car is amiss and needs attention!
