Oil Change Pan

[Jonnyslim]

Does anyone have any recommendation on a oil change container that is also a carrier. I want to find something with a catch area that will minimize spillage when draining the engine oil pan.

There's a bunch out there. I finally settled on one that has a screw on lid about 6" in diameter along with a pour spout and handles on one end...

Ive been considering this, mostly because I have a HF nearby and the price is pretty reasonable. I just wasnt sure if the actual pan was large enough to avoid spillage. Also if their might be an alternative that seems to work better then most.

Wow, can't beat that price! Looks like that will be a winner.

I got the one from Harbor Freight, used it once, and put it in recycling. It developed a hole and started leaking when I was going to drain it.

I read that in the reviews, it looks like a pretty common occurrence. I think the one from Wallyworld could be the winner.

Would recommend a fumoto valve to replace your drain plug.

I have one on all my vehicles. I have the ones with nipple that allows you to connect a piece of tubing to it. Have over 180,000 miles total on both vehicles. No leaks, perfect operation. Love them!

I have two of these and they are great.

Cheap but I only get 2-3 years out of them before they start leaking.

Odd. I've had mine for at least five years if not longer.

I ordered this as well. I really want to optimize this process so it can be quick and clean. I never want an excuse to not change the oil.

I have this to catch the oil. It's large and deep. Makes it easy to be lazy where you place it.

I dump it into a 5 gallon bucket. I have a lid for the 5 gallon bucket that has a pop up spout with a screw on cap. When the 5 gallon bucket is close to full. Put the lid on and easy peasy carry to where disposal is. Just to give you another option.

Better option is to install a Fumoto drain plug valve where you can attach a hose and run it directly into a jug. Zero mess (aside from the asinine way Ford has the oil filters drain).
