Drew400:
Apologies to all of the experts out there who probably know this already, but for any others like me who'd forgotten...

A useful way to catch and then decant old engine oil is care of a large hole cut into the side of a 5L plastic bottle. Once engine emptied, unscrew the top and pour into your recycling receptacle.

Cheers all, D.

Chris400F:
Yes, and the plastic ones are much easier to cut a hole in than the old tin ones (for people who remember those).
Plus you don't have to fold cut edges over to avoid having a hole surrounded by razor blades!

Drew400:
Ha ha, indeed not!

tom400f:
That's exactly what I've done Drew. Prefer the challenge of lining up the smaller aperture I've cut in mine and waiting to see how accurate I am as the drain plug comes out.

Somehow I always manage to spill a load of it at some stage of the process...

Drew400:
Yup, familiar with that target challenge!

D.
