RE: Missed Oil Change Step?

[flynrider]

Good thread. I bought one similar to Roper and Tuareg's examples, but found (the hard way) that the indentation in the side wasn't deep enough. Also, the 2 small holes where the oil drains inside the container were too small. When the hot oil poured out, it quickly overflowed onto the garage floor.



Of course, the first time I thought I hadn't centered the pan under the drain opening. The second time I learned my lesson. I bought this one because my airplane oil drains via a hose and this lets me stand it upright and run the hose into the container. Works great for that.

I think I'll pick up one like Nortoon originally posted for the motorcycles. I had one years ago and they work pretty well.
