Oil Drain and Recycling Containers

There is something very satisfying about servicing your own vehicle. Not only do you save money - and that in itself can be quite considerable! - but you know that everything has been done properly and hasn't been overlooked by the dealer and that the oils and other parts you paid for have actually been used and not substituted with cheaper alternatives or just not changed at all.

However there is one nasty by-product of home-servicing that we all have to deal with - USED OIL - no matter how well organised and tidy you are when you do the servicing you will end up with anything from 5 to 35 litres of thick, black oil to get rid of.

You might think that using the bowl from the kitchen sink or a bucket from the garden is 'ideal' for draining the oil into but when you come to dispose of it these things just are not designed to neatly and cleanly decant this waste into other containers for easy disposal.

We have found three ideal candidates for the job of Oil Draining and disposal that make the job almost a joy to do.

10 Litre Oil Drain Pan and Recycling Container

This 10 litre oil drain pan and recycling container will collect and store waste oil and fluids and permit clean, convenient transportation to your local recycling centre.

If you own a bigger engined 4x4 then you'll know that more waste oil comes out of the sump than you can ever find containers to hold it in. This reusable 10 litre capacity container is the ideal solution and makes for convenient, safe, clean collection and temporary storage and carriage of waste oil.

An excess capacity well helps prevent overflow or spillage and a large handle makes for easy carrying and pouring.

It's resistant to most chemicals and solvents, will not dent or rust and is easy to clean. Includes drain vent to aid smooth flow of oil. Approximate size: 570 x 320 x 125mm.
