Harbor freight had a big pan a while back, but ran out before I could get one. I have one of those Blitz units with the spout and lid, but had to cut a bigger hole in the top so the large volume doesn't swamp the little stock opening.

Get a Fumoto Valve, put a hose on it (about 5' long) and drain to a 5 gallon plastic gas can. Works every time. :thumbsup:

I use the Fumoto Valve with the nipple. I drain the oil into the 1 gallon oil containers from the last oil change. With the valve you can stop the oil in between gallons.
