ABSTRACT:
A vehicle oil drain system employs disposable one gallon plastic milk or water jugs or bottles to receive the drained oil for collection and subsequent disposition. The system includes a holder base member which is open on the top and which has side walls and end walls sufficiently high to hold a pair of side-by-side plastic jugs in position during the oil draining operation. In use, a double funnel receptacle is used to collect and distribute the draining oil into the plastic jugs. The receptacle has two spaced-apart openings in the bottom thereof; and a pair of short, downwardly extending spouts are attached to each of these openings. The spouts are inserted into the open necks of the plastic jugs before the oil draining operation, so that the necks of the jugs support the double funnel receptacle. Once the oil is drained into the plastic jugs, including oil from the oil filter which is to be replaced, the double funnel receptacle is separated from the oil-filled jugs which then are removed from the holder base member for disposal. The receptacle is stored in a nested position within the holder base member until the next time it is to be used.
