ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a drip tray that minimizes spillage when the oil filter of an engine is removed. The tray is formed of a generally flat and flexible member which is bent to provide a concave upper surface for directing spilled oil away from the engine and/or vehicle components. The tray includes spring clips which serve to allow it to be removably attached to a ledge formed in the engine block just below the opening for the filter. The clips are provided with barbed portions that bite into and secure the tray on the ledge.
