ABSTRACT:
A system for draining and collecting used oil from an engine crank case which includes a drain valve threadably connected to the drain opening in the crank case, a receptacle for receiving the used oil and a valve actuator mounted on the receptacle. The drain valve is formed with an opening which exposes the underface of a spring biased valve member. The valve actuator is formed with a tubular member formed with contact members mounted on the distal end of the tubular member which is inserted into the drain valve opening and move the valve member to an open position so that the used oil drains through the tubular member and into the oil receptacle. The valve actuator is formed with a snap fitting coupler member which holds the oil receptacle to the drain valve while the oil is draining. The drain valve is opened and closed by a simple push or pull on the valve actuator without orientation, turning or threading of any parts. A simple snap closure mounted on the oil receptacle closes the opening in the receptacle.
