Attention for all people who does DIY oil change... which oil drain pan do you own?

really... it sucks... it doesn't drain fast enough...

Just want to see what other people on beyond use...

+1 I use the same one, don't find it a problem if your oil is warm.

Canadian tire used to sell these, but changed it to another style which suck ass.

Ding ding ding.. we have a winnarr!

Of all of the pans I've used that one is by far the best design.. the triangle shaped ones work fine.. as long as you don't move them full of oil.

i use the same one , walmart wedco ftw

I have this one (linked because of the high res) http://lh6.ggpht.com/_yMwbBIap2ms/SE2MZaCzHjI/AAAAAAAAAD4/FfOX5mKjyKs/Round+Drain+Pan+Item+05070.jpg

It is freaking AWFUL. Extremely hard to pour at any decent rate without the oil starting to go everywhere..

Same, makes it very convenient dumping the oil onto my neighbors flower garden.

Got the same one.

+1 for the triangle one. Have used it for a good 3 or 4 years now

[rc2002]

I just use a 4L ice cream container. The I use a funnel to pour it back into the oil bottle after I fill up the engine.

i've never owned one but have tried a family member's,
when they don't work it's the worst mess you could dream (the seal at the base leaks, easily cured with bathtub epoxy i.e: Mono) of but they are quick and easy when you need a fast/clean/efficient oil change on your beater.

Nah I got an older canadian tire one, it looks sort of like a skinny jerry gas can, works fine. Sort of like this one, only black and not as deep of a hollow:

Similar to this one, but mine has another cap/drain mounted vertically, on the bottom left angle in your picture, so when I'm done, I take both caps off, and it flows easily out the other one, into the empty oil cans
