RE: I used to do oil changes and basic stuff. No longer...

avoiding toxic fluids is always wise, but motor oil should be changed at least once a year, because the additive packages become oxidized over time.

I always have a good roll of paper towels just in case, and to wipe everything down as needed, but my oil changes are clean and controlled, as the task becomes more repetitious.

Replacing the drain bolt with a stay in place valve cleaned things up quite a bit , it's as predictable as turning on any valve, and a dedicated filter wrench lessons any surprises when the filter is loosened , plus I work in protective gloves.
