Abstract: A jug for new oil is disclosed having a neck which opens upwards at one end of a flat platform. The jug is provided with a handle slot located below the neck, which tends to reduce rapid variations in pouring rate (i.e. `glugging`) as new oil is poured out. The platform aids in supporting the catch pan as used oil is drained from it through a drain opening, into the emptied jug which had contained the new oil. The catch pan is provided with a plug operated by a T-handle. Also disclosed are a funnel which can be nested in an inverted condition on the jug neck, and a catch pan with a boat-shape to permit over-the-lip pouring of used oil therefrom as an alternative to controlled draining of used oil therefrom through a bottom wall drain.

Abstract: An oil catch pan is provided as a self-supporting structure having a bottom wall and an upstanding peripheral sidewall with a rim where the pan is open at the top. The pan is designed to be slid under an automotive motor vehicle and used to catch the oil being drained from the crankcase. The bottom wall of the pan is initially provided with a closure which is designed to be effectively opened, e.g. by pulling a conveniently located tab or by interaction with a piercing structure which is fitted between the pan and the jug.
