There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
With all of those benefits I was willing to take a chance on the leakage. However, I made sure to fill it up with water and let it sit overnight so that I wouldn't get a nasty oily surprise the first time I changed the oil.
Sure enough, I checked it in the morning and there was a pretty decent water puddle at the base. It looked like the hot water had cooled off, which depressurized the inside and caused the plastic around the large cap to warp just enough for water to leak out.
Well, at least I expected that was coming; however, I saw another reviewer post an interesting tip about using petroleum jelly to seal the threads on the cap. I lubed up the o-ring tight with petroleum jelly, and filled in the thread gaps as well. Then I filled it back up with water and let it sit overnight.
The next morning I checked it and to my surprise there wasn't a single drop!
Once I verified that it wasn't leaking anymore with the petroleum jelly, I changed my car oil, and it has been sitting in my garage for almost a month now without any leakage!
No reason to give this thing 4 stars. All of the other features are well worth the little extra work of leak proofing the cap.
The one thing this pan could use is an o-ring around the small cap. There may still be a slight amount of leakage if you lay it on its side, but I intend on keeping mine upright so it isn't a deal breaker to me.
Wheels: Depending on the distance from your drain pan to this container, you may or may not need to adjust its position to match the oil stream. If you do have to move it, the wheels make this easier to do without unnecessary sloshing of the collected oil.
Construction: Seems robust and built to last. The plastic is thick and the handles are beefy.
Leak Potential: I did not experience any leaks from either opening. Even so, you’re wise to consider leak potential to be high. See my ending tip.
Screw Cap Top: The description touts an exclusive O-ring seal. The cap seemed to seal well and I did not notice any leaking from it.
Catch All Basket: This is a nice feature, saving you from having to fish around in hot oil for your drain bolt. It’s also nice to flip spin-on oil filters upside down onto the basket to drain dry. However, the first time I used this, the draining oil hit the grates at just the perfect angle to cause it to erupt right back out in all directions. I had oil all over this drain pan and the cardboard I put under the vehicle to prevent oily catastrophes.
Spout: Not trusting it not to leak, I immediately wrapped several layers of plumber’s tape around the threads. I did not experience any leaking from the spout, and pouring the used oil back into the jugs was a breeze.
Top tip: Act as though this product will leak from both openings. Why? Because then you will take the proper precautions. Seal the spout with plumber’s tape. Be sure neither cap is cross threaded, and screw them on tightly. Do not store oil in it any longer than necessary. If you have to keep it full for a time, place it inside a watertight container. The spout is for pouring your used oil back into the bottles and jugs you purchased. Do that. If at all possible, do not transport oil in this pan. If you must transport oil in it, at the very least put it inside a contractor’s trash bag. Even better would be to put it into a contractor bag lining a large plastic tote. All of these precautions take a bit of time, but far less than cleaning up 5 quarts of oil in your car trunk, truck bed, or garage floor.
