Oil drain funnel tool for 6.4?

Buried somewhere on this forum I ran across someone who showed a photo of a handy oil drain funnel tool he used when changing his oil. Without it he said it was difficult not to make a mess. The oil drained into this pan then funneled through a narrower opening that carried it away from the undercarriage where it would easily drain into a collector pan. It was only about 8 inches long altogether.

Has anyone run across that thread or know specifically what he was talking about? I'd like to order one since I'll be changing my oil soon.
 
I haven’t found any issues with a mess from the drain plug. The freaking oil filter though is another story… Always seem to spill some and it gets into the frame rail underneath. Some foaming degreaser into the rail cleans it decent but still annoying
 
I use a heavy foil pan like cinnamon rolls or some other prebaked pastry comes in. You can mold it to fit so that no oil spills anywhere except where you want. Drains well ahead of any suspension parts. Easy to clean up also. You can push it in all the way up to the oil cooler and bend the other end to drain where you need it.
 
God it makes me jealous to see such a “clean” frame here in the salt capital i have a ton of undercoating and dirt caked to the frame to keep it from rotting!
lol mine is hardly clean, truck is daily driven thru Colorado winters…but admittedly things dry out here quickly enough they don’t rot out like other more humid regions. Glad I don’t have to use any of that nasty undercoating gunk on my truck

You can see the paint it is clean in my books lol, here we have to undercoat or it starts rotting fast from all the salt and liquid calcium they put on the roads all winter
