Oil Drain PAN - 16 litres

I have always done my own car servicing and never saw the need for one of these, thinking old washing up bowls or hollowed out plastic containers were fit for the job. I finally caved and bought this after having a new drive laid at my home. The item is thick plastic and very robust with a spout to assist in emptying. I was concerned about drips from this as the spout doesn’t have a cap. The pan fitted easily under the sump and caught every drop of oil that came out including any splashes made by the oil. I did the other car as well so it was holding ten litres of used oil. I picked it up and the pan didn’t flex at all and there was no spillage from the spout because the design of the pan meant that no oil went down the spout until the oil reached the very top of the pan so it was secure in their until I tilted it to pour in the travel container to take to the recycling centre. I would highly recommend this item if you enjoy doing your own car maintenance

I had approx' 4 ltrs of old oil in a washing up bowl lined with a refuse sack...I expect others have done the same?! and needed to decant that into a container without spilling it like I did last time, causing a god awful mess over the herringbone bricks at the side of the house, it's surprising how a little gloop of oil can cause so much hassle to clear up. This pan works like a charm, pouring quickly without a drop of waste. I can only echo what others have said in reviews...this oil pan is an absolute 'must have' if you change your own oil or need to decant liquid into a container without slopping the stuff where it isn't needed. It is a bit on the large size for me but even so, it's made of tough moulded plastic, well designed and so simple to use. Excellent item.

Wish I had bought one of these sooner as makes the job a lot easier / less messy. Very robust, and at 16 litres this will do most oil changes on 99% of cars out there, the additional capacity means you are unlikely to spill when moving around, but its height was still shallow enough to go under my sports estate. The pouring snout works well in getting the used oil back into the empty canisters. This draws off from below the top lip so means little risk of over-topping the tub when pouring.Once emptied I used blue roll to clean out, but the reinforcing ribs and bumps make this a little difficult and the lip and pouring snout will always hide some residue which will no doubt drip onto something clean in the garage! On the whole a great item, but at thirteen pounds it is a touch on the expensive side.

Nice product

Decent size pan big enough to do the job.not one bit of oil went on the floor..once i was done it was easy to pour into a waste container to dispose ofThe built in nozzle is handy also has a lip at the top so oil doesn't spill out، the plastic pan is lightA simple thing can make your job easy

I have always carried out my own oil changes. However, after using various containers to drain the oil into which always resulted in some sort of spill I decided to purchase this item. Am now kicking myself that I never did so in the past. Now, as it’s large enough, no mess and easy to empty waste oil into a suitable container, usually the old one the new oil actually came in. Basically very sturdy and easy to use. Only one tiny issue, the drain spout is angled downwards, this results in drips after its emptied. Just pop an old bit of rag in after use. Anyway, that’s a tiny issue. If you regularly change oil, you need this.

Does the job it's designed to do. Seems pretty tough & sturdy, nice large capacity, shallow so it fits under the car, but deep enough to prevent fluid splashing out. Has a nice spout to direct the flow where you want it (has screw thread that I think a plastic petrol can pouring tube would fit) also has a lip on the rim above spout to prevent over spill. Simple effective piece of kit, all for a very reasonable price.

Oct 2023 @ £18.99. 16 litre pil drain pan. Works well for my M57N2D30 730D BMW which has a large oil capacity. Like others, I'm confused as to why you are not provided with a cap for the threaded pouring spout. It would stop it dripping when hanging in my garage. Other than that, it's very sturdy when moving the oil from A to B. I recommend it.
