great oil drain pan

[JayBros]

It is, at twice the price.

Yes, I got both the pan and recycle can for $25.72 NC sales tax incl at O'Reilly.

Others probably found this or know this already, :dontknow: but while getting my oil for my first DIY oil change effort, I saw this oil drain pan at my local O'reilly's auto parts store. It is called the "Less Mess drain pan" and is 21" X 11" x 4" deep. It covered both drain areas under our 2014 RTL spyder completely. It holds 11 Qts of used oil (not that we need that !) :clap: Anyway....just in case you are looking or need a new one or just want one.....:roflblack::thumbup:

I must be dense. (And no, I'm not going to start a poll)
I went to O'Reilly's site to search for "Less Mess Drain Pan". I get 7 results and none of them are for an oil change.

That is the pan I've used from the git-go for my Spyder. It used to be sold by Pep Boys but when they got out of that business O'Reilly picked it up. Very convenient to just set it and forget it with the two 1330 engine drain plugs. I use it with the 3 gallon recycle can. My only wish is that the pour spout for the pan was a little better.

Thank You

After all the comments in reply.........sorry I brought it up ! Won't happen again.

I just wanted to say 'Thank You' for the heads up on the oil drain pan. My wife loves it. No more oil mess.

Stay Healthy. ....:thumbup:

Don't give up Tenin, when you post here there will always be comments, that's just the way it works. A shared idea is always good and helpful to someone.

It's a good post Ray,stimulated lots of comment and will have given those other 1st timers like you lots to think about on how ARE they going to get rid of that old nasty stuff. Besides that's what makes the forum interesting,seeing all the different ways we solve the same problem.

Tenin, thanks for posting this. I need a new drain pan as my old one is too small and I end up spilling oil. There's an O'Reilly's about 2 miles away from me and has the pan in stock so I'll pick one up today.

I have the same pan and it works very well. The oil filter drain section is a nice touch.
