I've changed the oil in mine plenty of times and never had oil get in the shield but it has always been on a lift sitting even front to back. Maybe the tilt back on ramps is causing this?

Yep, you nailed it. Definitely a jack/ramp problem. Myself, I jack up the front (don't have a lift, yet) but the car is clearly leaning back, so yes the oil hits the back part of the tray once the velocity of the draining oil slows down.
This can be easily solved by using something in the back of the door opening (like a cut in half bottle) to help the oil roll down into the pan.
But besides that, I feel like the access door could be a bit bigger anyway, there is not much room there. I can't even get my good oil filter wrench in there (no clearance) but have to use the crappy pliers that suck, which is not always ideal when dealing with a hot *** oil filter.
