CHAPIN 16-Quart Oil Drain Pan — 16 qt splash-resistant pan with sealable cap and handles

If you change oil or other automotive fluids at home or on the job, the CHAPIN 48004 helps keep work areas tidy and reduces leaks during transport. Its wide, splash-resistant catch zone guides drained fluid into a deep reservoir while recycled polymer construction provides chemical resistance and long service life. The pan’s built-in handles and a screw-cap let you move and store used oil without worrying about spills or overflow.

How does the splash-resistant design reduce mess?

The pan features a broad, recessed target area that funnels fluid toward the reservoir instead of letting it scatter across the floor. That design minimizes drips and splatters when fluid is released from the drain point, making cleanup faster and simpler.

• Wide catch zone centers fluids for accurate drainage
• Deep reservoir reduces chance of overflow during a full change
• Raised edges help contain splashes and direct flow to the cap

Can I transport and store used oil safely with this pan?

Yes. The CHAPIN 48004 includes a screw-on cap that seals the reservoir after draining, preventing leaks while you move the pan or store the fluid until recycling. The integrated lift handles let you carry the filled pan with better balance and control.

• Seal cap prevents seepage during transport or storage
• Sturdy carry handles positioned for stable lifting
• 16-quart capacity holds most single-service oil volumes

Will the material stand up to workshop use?

Constructed from recycled polymer, the pan resists common automotive fluids and physical wear so it stays serviceable over many oil changes. The material is also lightweight, making the pan easy to position under vehicles while remaining durable enough for regular shop or home use.

• Recycled polymer resists oil and fluid degradation
• Lightweight for easy placement under vehicles
• Durable construction reduces the need for frequent replacement

How much fluid can it handle and how does that speed service?

With a 16-quart (4-gallon) capacity, this drain pan accommodates most passenger vehicle oil changes and many light truck services without needing to be emptied mid-task. Fewer interruptions mean faster job completion and less handling of messy containers.

• Generous 16-quart volume reduces emptying during service
• Deep reservoir lets you complete full drains without splashing
• Design reduces time spent on cleanup and fluid transfers

Who is this for: The CHAPIN 48004 is suited for DIY mechanics, mobile technicians, small repair shops, and anyone who performs routine fluid maintenance and wants a cleaner, safer way to catch, move, and temporarily store used oil. It’s especially helpful for people who need a reliable, low-maintenance pan that minimizes spills and simplifies disposal logistics.
