Does anyone know where to get one of these? http://www.amazon.com/Plastics-Group-W78-Drain-Container/dp/B000HEBYYU It's basically a screw top drain pan so you can store it until you make a trip to the tip, no mess no fuss. It doesn't have to be this exact one but the only other one I saw in Australia seems like absolute shit. I first saw this at a friends house in Brisbane where he said he got it at a local Repco but I've been all around town here and cant find it for the life of me so I'm hoping you guys will be able to help me out

Im not to sure how accurate that would be, I use load cells at work and they cost thousands and need to be calibrated every 12 mths, not sure this would be monies well spent, better of getting a quality manual one, might cost a bit more but you know its going to be accurate.

Why dont you just save your old oil bottles to use, cost nothing.

I originally saw this at Total Tools and its the guys there that recommended it to me and got me on to them but they were 100 bucks there so I found that when I was looking for the drain pan and the main reason for the pan is because I live in a uni I only have a car port not a garage having to wash up everytime I do an oil change is disgusting not to mention I have to wash my food in the same sink. I store my oil in 10L coles water jugs but I just want something that's sealable so I can leave it in my store room or even outside in my car port without having traces of oil in it and making everything disgusting.

Thanks for the in advice though
