How does the Scepter pan prevent spills during an oil change?

The pan’s large opening is fitted with a threaded lid that screws on to lock in liquids during transport and storage, cutting down splashes and accidental pours. Molded hand grips on the sides help you lift and tilt the pan steadily so you can move fluids without sloshing.

• Molded hand grips for safer carrying and controlled pouring
• Wide mouth simplifies catch while draining under the vehicle

What features help with draining and disposing of used oil and filters?

The pan includes a removable drain filter and a plug screen that catch the drain plug and let an oil filter sit and drain before disposal. A tethered, gasketed spout cap provides a leak-resistant seal, and the angled pour spout makes transferring used oil into a recycling jug faster and neater.
