As soon as i got this product i filled it with some oil and kinda made a mess around the rim, I am a disabled veteran with bad hands, so anyway i closed up the drain pan and took it inside my house to clean up the rim. Sure enough, as I knew from my military days, I dropped it in my kitchen. It landed on one of it's corners and bounced around. Huah!! No mess!! Now that is what I call very dependable.
I have tried this item out twice because I thought the first time was just an anomaly. However, this item DOES NOT live up to its description... so here's what it should really say for the description: "This RhinoGear 10-Qt Oil Drain Pan makes for [VERY MESSY] oil changes. Built-in handgrips provide ease in carrying and pouring when recycling. There is a plug-saver screen to retrieve the drain plug [AFTER EACH FALL INTO THE CONTAINER BECAUSE THE DRAIN IS SO FLIMSY]. This drain pan is made of [NICE MATERIAL THAT DOESN'T CONTAIN THE USED OIL]." All in all, the drain pan DID NOT contain the used motor oil. The top lid and side spout DID NOT SEAL correctly thus leaking USED MOTOR OIL in my vehicle during transportation. I am VERY displeased that Walmart would stock an item that truly DOES NOT WORK. Who is going to pay to clean my car now? RIDICULOUS! DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT, YOU WILL REGRET IT!
As others have stated; extremely poor quality and design. Leaks from the main cap, plastic screen falls in, and the dump cap is held on by a single thread. The dump cap is very flimsy, if you grab container by it, it will come off - and this is all to easy to do under the vehicle. Do not buy, I used it once - attempted a return but was unsuccessful.
Did 1 oil change with this pan and I will not be using it to do another. It leaks, the threads are a pain to get started and it leaks. Did an oil change, dumped the oil and it sat in garage for months and now I have a huge stain on my garage floor, and yes I did wipe down the pan before I left it in the corner waiting for the next oil change.
Worked well at first, but shortly after first use the drain cap cracked in half. The manufacturer sent me a 2 free replacements, which was nice but proved to be inadequate. The first replacement did not fit. The second replacement did. However high temperatures warped it and caused it to crack and leak. Made a mess...
piece of junk,it is already thin plastic, add warm motor oil to it, it gets even worse, once the oil starts,draining into the pan,the so call screene normally will fall into the pan, do not even think about setting the filter on the screen for it to drain, the drain cap does not screw on tight it leaks, done used it twice it makes a big mess,taking garbage off tomar, this will be included, first thing i load up and the first thing i throw unload, i would be ashame to make a product this sorry
I gave it a shot because Walmart really had limited options. I have used it once and found I needed a funnel so oil didn't go all over the place. The plastic that sits in the middle and you are supposed to set the filter on just falls in - ridiculous! The drain cap split and I've only used this once!!!!! This thing is the worst piece of junk! Do not buy. I used it today for the second time, it will be going in th trash after recycling the oil!
Do not purchase this. There is a screw on lid stopper on the side that i assume is meant to allow one to pour the oil (or whatever other liquid one is collecting) out but it does not seal tight enough to hold the contents in. It leaks. The top lid fastens tightly. Just buy a cheap tin trash can to catch any draining liquids instead. This thing is mass produced and poorly made.
It leaked after i drained e vine oil into it
I've bought 2 of these, hoping that the problems with the first one were a fluke. They weren't. I had the same problems as the other reviews on here. This thing leaks badly, both at the drain on the side, and the top cap. Also, the screen under the top cap is so flimsy that it falls into the oil if you set a filter on it - or even if you bump it wrong. And using it to drain a filter is the only reason it's there. The drain cap on the side is simply horrible. The threads don't match the body of the pan, so it always feels like it's cross-threading when you put it on. It doesn't screw down flat, so it will leak, every time. I really can't believe Walmart continues to sell this. The leaks are bad enough to really mess up your garage floor if it sets for my than 10 minutes with oil in it. And you need to set it in a pan to catch the oil when transporting it to dump the oil or it will mess up your vehicle. Don't even think about putting it in a car, the back of a pickup (in a pan) is the only way to transport it. Trust me on this - spend a buck more and buy the 15 quart model.
