used oil container

[e34john]

What are you guys using? Tired of filling up gallon milk or water jugs. How come there isn't any made like the plastic gas cans for oil? I found Blitz made them but they aren't around anymore.

Old oil containers that my new oil come in.

You could use Jerry cans?

This. Drop it off at the local recycling facility, done.

I use five gallon metal cans, like are used for kerosene, gas, solvent, etc. You can get them at a hardware store, Lowes, etc.

As above, I use a large 5gal drain pan with pour spout, and fill either used Antifreeze/Coolant, or Oil jugs.

thats a good one. i use plastic 5 gallon buckets that come with a lid such as hydraulic oil containers.

We have those at work. But I'm a little OCD. We have red, yellow and blue labeled for what it contains. Wondering why no body makes an oil waste one.

Going to have to go find one of the NLA black Blitz branded 5 gallon jugs.

i use a large plactic barrel from my fathers old work when he worked for j&j makinf tylonol the dry ingrediants are shipped in thick plastic barrels with lids that snap on and have metal bands that go around to lock them on also, i fill it up and take it to a local shop that pumps it out into their large tank for their waste oil heater. alo you can just use a 5 gallon bucket with a lid and when its full drop it off at advanced auto or autozone or similar, just leave it in the parking lot by the building they recycle it. found this out as my uncle used to go by at night and take the oil people left there to use in his waste oil heater lol

I used to use kitty litter jugs- nice big lids, held 2-3 gallons, thick plastic.

However, recycling now picks up used motor oil at the curb (2 gallons every 2 weeks)
and it's back to milk jugs, since that's all they want to see.

When I first learned they did this, I had something north of 40 gallons... since I had
a 55 gallon drum at the shop, and am lazy...

mines similar to the one here...then like above, back in the newly empty oil container(s) and recycle or keep for summer bonfires

Every O'Reillys carries these. 3 gallon capacity.

Liquid laundry detergent containers work great. Cut the pour spout out of them and you have a nice big opening for easy pouring.

ha - typically use an "oil drain" container similar to one pictured above..

but recently took a collection of used oil to nearby shop using:
-aforementioned oil catch container
-glass gallon red rosé jug
-gatorade jug
&
-a large, open-mouthed container originally used for cheezy-poofs

doesn't matter what you use - so long as you can deliver it there..

Oil drain pan with a lid. When that fills I fill up an old VP race gas can that I have lying around.
