The only thing that will be catching is the leftovers of the over spill you're going to make all over your driveway  :signLOL: I've got a similar one and they make an awful lot of mess as used only once in 16years as a result of the mess it creates  :signLOL:
Thanks for the advice! I hoped it would be better designed.  :surprised:

I'll just use it to carry the oil to a friendly mechanic shop to deposit the oil then, and use something like @rich83 suggested. :confused:

I had to warn you as these are pathetic in design and really only for what you just described lol carrying the oil as I did to the local oil depot.

I just use a basin and pour the oil into an empty oil bottle via a funnel and then take it for disposal, no mess solution

My last pressure washer broke due to dry running over 3 years from a hose with 20feet of head! A solid reason to pick a compact K4 and washer bottle.

Was €264 but they left an old sticker for €167 by mistake. I complained to the manager and they let me walk out with it for the €167!!
