83150 Recycle Drain Pan, 12.5 Quart

I should have paid attention to the pictures. I was thinking it was a direct drain to the center of the container. Instead you remove the yellow funnel and screw it onto the side port. This raises the height an inch or 2. It works but I thought it was shorter which would give me room to get to the oil pan bolt. I don't have to jack up my Honda Ridgeline. This recovery pan works but I have to adjust my way of removing that bolt.

other containers that I have tried were OK at catching the oil, but were inadequate for containing the oil for transport. This unit drops the oil from the collector directly into the container by way a screw-on connection; after the catchment has drained well, it can be removed and a good cap placed on the opening - viola! all in the container without any mess. The container can stand up with the collection point at the top and the pouring opening also at the top, so there is virtually no opportunity for accidents. The caps seal well enough, just don't over-torque them and you'll never have a problem. This is my second purchase of this product, first one was at an auto parts store that quit carrying them. I gave that first one to my dad after quite a bit of use and he still uses it. I am happy to have found this second one after some searching. Yay!

Slim design stands anywhere, and the drain snaps into the side storage. Vent is a nice feature for pouring the used oil without air lock chugging. Handy to slide under tight access areas. Have used one for many years; buying this for oil changes at a second home.

I changed my oil for the first time and knew I needed to store the old oil prior to disposal. I did a little research on Amazon and decided to purchase the Wedco Oil Drain Pan because of the decent ratings. The wide opening drain was great when the oil began to drain from my truck and I didn't miss any. The pan is sealed and stored in a storage closet, I have not have had any leaking issues for about three weeks since storage has ensued. Although it is designed to be recycled, I plan to reuse the pan, it is durably made and can withstand several more oil changes.

The first time I used this it leaked several quarts of oil all over my garage floor. On closer inspection I discovered the reason was a flaw in the molding process, the plastic injection process left a hole on the bottom side where the oil leaked out while I was draining the oil from the car. I was changing the air filter so I didn't notice until it was too late. This is apparently a quality control issue. Too bad, since the design is very nice and without the leak would have worked very nicely.

Just in case it's not obvious (it wasn't to me until it arrived), the way this works is that you take the yellow circular thing shown in the pictures off - it's a very large funnel, and screw it onto the yellow cap. What does this mean? 1) Very large area for oil to drain into 2) It doesn't leak. Those very large holes with a cover never seal properly, especially with warm oil in them, but this little cap seals perfectly! Also I found that the hole in the funnel does a better job than my last drain pan in holding onto the plug when it falls. (The plug comes out, you get hit by very hot oil, yell a profanity, and drop the plug.) I highly recommend.

Ordered this on-line and paid shipping as I can no longer find it in stores. My old one had the gasket go bad after many years of service. New design is even an improvement since there is no longer an opening at the bottom. Its small profile lets me side it under my BMW Z3 without jacking it up until the tailpipe drags. Made of tough Polypropylene. Ones sold in auto parts stores are useless junk by comparison.

Overall the product has done what I'd hoped. It's a great vertical storage container for your oil, and holds quite a bit. The main downside is that the funnel is fairly small, leaving for a messy drain. When you first pull your oil drain plug your oil tends to shoot further so you move the pan further out, but you have to sit there and keep moving this container as the oil drains and the pressure drops. This would be a great 5 star product if only the funnel was larger. Past that, it transports easily, no leaks at all around the cap, and holds plenty of oil for most vehicles to get 2 oil changes in it (except mine @ 7qts per change).

As described. Holds a car engines worth of oil and only fills it half. The removeable/ storable catch pan is great too. Awesome if you have access to an oil disposal site so you can use it over and over.

Have an older version of this exact pan and this is new and improved. The opening on the side of the pan makes emptying out oil a lot easier and the pan holds a lot more than my older model.

great for oil changes. Use a piece of cardboard when draining. Will save your driveway from staining.

I recommend to all thanks Français JE RECOMMANDE A TOUS MERCI

Works as advertised but cap threads a bit loose so it’s easy to overtighten and strip. If cap comes off in transit to oil dump, that’s a real problem.
