DIY OIL CHANGE PRODUCTS?

The only caution about that style is you MUST remember to open up the air bung before you start draining the oil.

I know because I went through the pain of cleaning my entire driveway when the oil overflowed. Only about 1qt got caught in the pan and the rest went over the side.

 

Yes one must open the air bung! hahahaha!

 

I just hang it up and store it with air hole open. This way I do not forget.

 

I have a 5 gallon plastic gas tank used just for oil. Fill it up and take it to advanced auto.

 

I use this same one. It has a large catch area so you never miss, holds a lot so you can do trans/diff/transfer case in addition to oil, and closes up nicely for an easy trip to the auto parts store for recycling.

A couple other things I use for oil changes that I find handy are a wide mouth funnel for filling it back up, a Fumoto oil drain valve, and a small plastic bottle with the top cut off to catch the oil from taking the filter off.

 

Thats what i use for past 8 years and works great
