Decent oil change pan?
Decent oil change pan?
For those of you doing your own oil changes, have any of you found a decent oil change pan? I've been through a couple, but haven't found a decent one. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
I have this one currently, but it's garbage. The pan is shallow, so it comes very close to overflowing when you first start draining the oil. Then, the cap on the nozzle for emptying it leaks like crazy. It's one of those cheap screw tops that comes back off if you tighten it too far.

It seems like some one has to make a decent one.

There's plenty or room under the car, but a ramp's no good for changing the oil. You need it level to drain properly. A floor jack that you can lower works better.
My main issue is finding a decent pan. It seems like they're pretty universally crappy. The one I have would be great if it was a tiny bit deeper and they put some decent screw caps on that actually prevented the oil from spilling out.
