Any auto parts store will have a drain pan that also stores oil...

Should anyone mention oil scavanging. I will remind you that it is highly debatable

Any suggestions?

Thanks

i have not read all the reply’s yet, but as to your used oil container question....go to your local Taco Bell and ask for a empty oil jug. They are 5gallon square jugs that their fry vat oil comes in.... I get one every few weeks to two months and dump all the oil from my oil changes in it, once full, take it to Autozone or other oil dump and all done ! Here jugs have are about 5 gallon in size, about 12” x 12” x 24” or so, and have a about 2.5” opening with a threaded cap. They work perfect and are free to boot......

I use an old 5 gallon paint bucket. Leave the cap off and drill a few 1/4" holes in the lid. It sits in the corner of the garage. I can tip my drain pan up in the corner and it all drips into the bucket.

I've had the same one for 20 years. Couple times a year, run it down to AutoZone and dump it into their tank.
