Great tip thanks. If you don't have a low enough container to slide under your bike when you do an oil change, try the inexpensive turkey baking trays made from heavy foil and available at any supermarket for a couple of bucks. They are low and have a large volume, will keep your floor clean and are reusable.
Keep her between the ditches!

i had been using the box the oil filter came in. I think using the foil is beter as it can be shaped easier. GREAT TIP!

This is why I just love this forum, I have tried a few different ways to catch the oil but never with foil, what a great idea, THANKS.. ezlife for taking the time to post. Tim
