Sorry, Mr B, I wasn't debating which was best, I was simply pointing out my musings on the MM one, that I've been using for 3 or 4 years now.  Nothing more, nothing less

 OK

Is the machine mart one big enough to catch the mess from the oill filter, AND still catch the oil drain at the same time ?

Looks like it is  :-/

Yup 

I wouldnt say either is best.....both have their plus points, and I wouldnt swap

Hmmm, I don't do that. I tend to do one completely, they do the other.  I guess thats why I rarely get oil on the drive when changing oil.

Obviously, I get oil all over the drive all the rest of the time, just not when changing oil

I always intend to do the oil first, but I can't just sit there and wait no matter how hard I try, got to go and do the filter while the sump drains, and drains to the last drop almost


And thanks Jimbob.

I use a washing up bowl from the £1 shop, can't remember how much it was though

no doubt someone will tell you it wont last

Usually, they are too high, so get damaged when you lower car with it still under. Worse case, it'll split...

I did use one of those under-bed storage boxes on wheels, but guess they weren't designed for heat/cold cycles, and one day the hot oil eventually made a bid for freedom, all over my drive.

Hence I stick to the proper tool.

Used again today, have to wear rubber gloves to handle it.
