Performance Tool 15.1 L Oil Drain Container, Black — Leak-Resistant Seal & Reinforced Walls

This compact polypropylene container is built to simplify routine oil changes. It combines a deep, angled drain well that reduces splashing with an integrated carrying handle and tethered caps with rubber gaskets for leak‑resistant storage. Reinforced side walls stay rigid even when holding hot engine oil, making it a dependable choice for DIYers and professionals who need a cleaner, easier way to catch and move used oil.

How does this container reduce spills and mess during oil changes?

The W4077 uses a deep, angled drain well designed to funnel oil directly into the reservoir while minimizing turbulence. The geometry lowers splash and keeps hot oil contained for safer transfer into sealed containers.

• Deep drain well with sloped sides to guide flow and prevent splatter
• Wide opening to align beneath drain plugs and funnels
• Rigid walls that prevent bulging and accidental tipping

Can I transport used oil in this unit without leaks?

Yes. The container comes with tethered plastic caps fitted with rubber gaskets that compress to form a tight seal, so you can move collected oil without drips. Always ensure caps are secured and the vent hole is open when draining to avoid overflow; close the vent for transport.

• Tethered caps stay attached to prevent loss
• Rubber gaskets provide a leak‑resistant closure for transport
• Integrated handle enables balanced carrying and pouring

Is the W4077 durable enough for regular garage or shop use?

Constructed from sturdy polypropylene, this drain container resists cracking, warping, and chemical exposure common in automotive environments. Its reinforced side walls are intended to maintain shape even when filled with hot oil, so it holds up across many service cycles.

• Heavy‑duty polypropylene construction for long service life
• Engineered wall strength to withstand hot oil and repeated use
• Easy to clean surface that resists staining and residue buildup

How much oil does it hold and how should I use it safely?

The container has a 16‑quart (15.14 L) capacity, enough for most passenger vehicle oil changes and some small truck applications. For safe use, open the vent before draining to prevent siphon‑back overflow, secure both caps before transport, and dispose of used oil according to local regulations.

• 16 quarts (15.14 L) capacity — suitable for most engines
• Open vent prior to draining to avoid overflow
• Follow local disposal rules for used oil and filters
