Oil Absorbing Mat? Maybe?

[Udnudn]

I have a 4 post lift in my garage. the floor is that little pebbles epoxy, real nice but a pain for a car guy. I currently have a piece of vinyl flooring under my car to catch fluids when I work on it. Well it turns into a skating rink when it gets a lot of oil on it. I need something to put down under car that won't turn into a skating rink, that I can walk on but hopefully protect that garage floor.

Any suggestions!!

Thanks a lot

We have a handful of dry mates left as we are launching the TruContain carpet mat in the spring. We also have the TruContain containment mats. Have a look here https://www.garageflooringllc.com/oil-absorbent-garage-floor-mat/ for the carpet mats. We took the purchase option down for the 17' and 20' but may have some returns out there.

For the containment mats have a look here:

I'm a cheapskate. The wife's car had a leaking oil pan gasket that I was putting off replacing for about 18 months. I got a free furniture blanket from HF, folded it in half and positioned it where she parks. After a while, I rotated it so the other end was under the drips. After a while of that, I turned it inside out and over. I finally replaced the oil pan gasket.
Then I threw the blanket out.

If for no other reason than it's amazing the amount of stuff they have, check out NewPig (https://www.newpig.com/universal-absorbent-mats-pads/c/5001). I've used their stuff for years and they have everything under the sun for wipes, mats, barrel covers, etc. All quality stuff.

The pig Matt's are super nice and soak up an amazing mount of oil for there size. They also don't turn slippery once soaked.

$9 dollar rubber mats with a fairly rough syntetic nap at Ocean State Job Lot (or other big lot stores). First one lasted 3 years, second one just wen under the Mustang when I put it away in the fall.

Yep, sometimes being creative is all that is required for simple drips. However, if you want something a little more refined, we have an article about the various oil absorbing mats that are available and work well.

I like cardboard, free and easy to replace. We leave a piece under the forklift at my day job because of leaks.

I use Elephant pad at the house. Cut in a 3 x 5 piece. When it gets full/bad I throw it away and cut another. Going on a year with the one I'm using now. (haven't had any big spills, just drips)

I bought a large roll of Pig Mat, probably from Amazon.

It’s perforated, so it’s easy to tear off a square or two, absorbs well, and lies flat so you don’t trip on it.

Wads up nice for disposal, too.

One roll has lasted for years.
