Drain oil pan

[drgreg]

What do you drain the 22qts. of oil into? I know that you can pull the front plug first & fill a 5 gal. pail. But does anyone have any "good " way to handle this WMO in a easy way?

At work we have a big pan with a spout that will hold 11 gal. We've had it for years and I have no idea where it came from. To change the oil in the deuce at home I cut a plastic 55gal. drum off so it would fit under the deuce. Only problem is it's hard to pour out with no spout without making a mess.

Yep, same thing. I would like to find a way to drain it then filter it then burn it without having an Exxon Valdese.

I got a 6 gallon plastic pail from the local beer and wine making supply shop and use a 5 gallon oil bucket lid to pour it out.

the filters is the real messy part, i just go nuts with some speedi dry on the ground then jam a rubbermaid trashcan as far under there as i can and hope for the best

2 five gallon buckets work fine, one for the rear, one for the front. As for the filters, just let it sit for an hour after it is started and there will be no oil in the cans so it won't be a mess.

I purchased a large oil drain pan from my local truck parts supplier. I believe the gas can company ( Blitz) makes it. I use it to drain my 5 ton with ease. It even has wheels mounted at the rear if it gets to heavy to pick up alone. You can still use it by yourself till you get help to pick it up and drain it. I paid 70 $ bucks about 5 years ago and it is worth every penny. Try Blitz.com. Good luck.

I second that. I'll see what happens with the spin-ons. I was thinking of laying some foil around the base to catch any that runs out. I used to do that to keep the oil off my headers on my sportbike.
