Oil change drain pan

[stephen wilson]

Some places have a holding tank for you to dump your container into, I doubt he's going to all that trouble to dump it on the ground............

That's odd. I've used my square 16 qt. FloTool container twice now, once for my diesel truck and once for my Boxster. I didn't have any oil splashing out around the sides! They sent me replacement vent caps, and so far the one I installed hasn't popped open.

I usually keep my oil pan full. It usually stays that way until I decide to do the next oil change and then I grab the pan and realize, oh crap, I never dumped it from the last time. Then I promise myself, I will get rid of it quickly this time and then next year, oh crap!

I must have had it just in the wrong position. Once the oil started deflecting back up and out I tried sliding it around to different positions and I finally found one that limited the spray. of course by then the oil flow from the car may have just diminished. Fun times
