FloTool Less Mess Drain Pan

Spacious area to collect oil when draining. But when it comes to pouring out the oil with the spout at one corner of the drain pan, some oil may drip from the longer sides due to the bump design. The leak happens when one is trying to empty the drain pan to the last drop. So be prepared to wipe dry with a paper towel.

In the past, this has been adequate for small oil changes. My daily driver takes 3.3 quarts. Good: The pan does a great job at catching and holding the oil. Fits under car no problem without ramps or stands. Bad: When I go to move it, pan flexes and oil sloshes around. When I try to pour it from this pan into a transport container, oil overflows the spout end of the pan unless you carefully keep it to a dribble. Usually wind up with oil on my catch can and on the ground. Really bad: Just used this to change the oil on my truck for the first time. The stuff that irritated me with 3.3 quarts was a huge pain with 6 quarts! When I tried to lift the pan to move it to my catch can, the pan flexed badly and almost spilled. Using the built-in hand grips, any deviation from level sets the oil sloshing back and forth in ever-growing waves. Attempting to pour into catch can was a nightmare. Oil everywhere on the ground, sides of the can, etc. And the catch can has a 5" opening - it's not like I missed a small target. Oh, the irony, using the environmentally friendly "made from recycled paper" towels to clean up an oil spill. Save your money - buy something better - unless you like constantly cleaning used oil off of everything! I've been changing my own oil for 35+ years. This is the worst!
