Hi, can you suggest a pan to drain the oil into when I tip my Honda lawn mower onto its side? Seems I usually end up getting oil all over the place. Thanks

Being more of a bikie than a boatie I had never seen an oil draining pump before I took over the business.
So the bikie mates come over and see me drain one of my bikes with the pump and get me to order one for them.

The vacuum ones are a little pricey but is all you have are mowers then the 1 quart model will do you fine.
If you only have the Honda then a big syringe type will be fine and they are about $ 10

I took a old 5 gal plastic bucket and cut it down to make it shallow. I guess about 3 inches.That was cheap and works excellent.
I used a razor knife, so be careful. Or start it with a hacksaw. Remember you are draining about only 16 oz.
