I have one of these:




And then I just pour it into old windshield fluid bottles and take it to be disposed of. banana.gif

 

I have two of those, but they suck! When it gets full enough to enter the exit neck, it leaks out the cap. You can never get the cap tight enough, it just strips.

I'd love to find a better alternative.

 

The alternative is to drain it into a jug after an oil change, then take the bottle to the recycling facility, not to use it for 3 oil changes until it overflows. laugh.gif

I find the bigazz apple juice jugs we buy at the grocery store work great for carrying used oil.

 

<---6.0L Turbodiesel. Uses 15 quarts. mmmmmkay? wink.gif

 

duh, maybe get a bigger pan?

A 6L turbodiesel says "truck" to me, and if it is an appropriately sized truck you should be able to fit a 5 gal. paint bucket, which is easy to place as you walk around upright under the truck (and it's not on a lift) laugh.gif

Definitely one of the things I miss about my trucks: being able to work under them without a jack.

On a more serious note, if you want to be able to seal the neck (yes the caps suck I don't know why they couldn't mold in an extra round of threads) grab a rubber glove, put a double thickness over the neck, pull the glove taut over the opening, and zip-tie it tight. If it leaks, you did it wrong wink.gif

 

Basic open drip pan, then into a 2-1/2 gallon used oil jug.

 

i used hospital tubs i get from the hospital for free, its used to temporarily hold stuff that comes out of people that they need to put back in.

So if someone drops it on the floor or something they throw it away, aka big pile by the dumpster.

(moms a nurse)

This. Yes, I work in a shop. In fact, I just changed the Mustang's oil today.

I use the standard oil catch pan, and then into a 25 gallon steel oil drum... I still haven't decided what I'm going to do when it's full...

 

Mix it with the buckets from the latrine, and light it on fire.
