It's too small for a oil drain pan. Bought this at a garage sale for $1.00. Never seen one before but the person selling said, just attached 2 / 2 liter soda bottles and let the oil drain on the catch. He said he bought it sometime in the 80s. It looks cute. I'll see if it really works on my next Kawasaki Ninja OCI.

So when you use this, invariably one bottle will fill faster than the other, and if it tops out, you better hope the seal holds while the oil eventually finds its way to the other bottle.

Then when you're done you have to lift this entire contraption to unscrew the first bottle before unscrewing the drain pan thingie from the 2nd bottle.

I hope you have some kitty litter, LOL.

Pessimism aside, get a video of it in action.
