Dorman Galvanized Drain Pan 3‑Gallon, 16" Diameter x 4" Deep — Splash Guard & Handles

The Dorman 9-814 is a 3‑gallon, 16" diameter by 4" deep galvanized drain pan built to catch oil and transmission fluid with a splash guard and carry handles for clean, controlled draining.

This heavy‑duty drain pan is made from galvanized steel to resist corrosion and stand up to repeated use during oil and transmission fluid changes. Its shallow, wide profile fits under many passenger cars, trucks, and light equipment, while the integrated splash guard and molded handles make pouring and transporting used fluid easier and less messy. The Dorman part is one option in a full line of sizes, letting you choose the capacity and shape that best match your shop or jobsite needs.

How does this drain pan help keep fluid changes cleaner?

The pan collects drained fluids and directs splashes away with a built‑in splash guard, reducing drips and spills on the garage floor. The wide opening helps you position funnels or filter housings without missing the target.

• Galvanized steel construction resists rust and holds up to repeated use
• Splash guard reduces back‑splash during fast fluid flows
• Wide 16" diameter captures runoff from most drain points
• Low 4" depth limits splashing while providing 3‑gallon capacity

Will this pan fit under my vehicle and be easy to move when full?

At 16 inches across and 4 inches deep, the Dorman 9‑814 is intentionally low-profile so it slides under low ground‑clearance vehicles. Molded handles let you pick up and tip the pan for disposal without awkward grips or extra tools.

• Shallow height fits many cars, light trucks, and off‑highway equipment
• Handles provide secure gripping for transport and pouring
• 3‑gallon volume minimizes frequent emptying for small to medium jobs
• Stable, wide base reduces tipping when fluid is collected

Can I use this pan for tasks beyond oil and transmission changes?

Yes — the galvanized pan is suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial applications where liquid capture is needed. Use it for coolant, small parts washing, or temporary containment during maintenance tasks.

• Compatible with oil, transmission fluid, coolant, and other automotive liquids
• Useful for equipment maintenance, parts cleaning, and temporary fluid collection
• Galvanized surface simplifies cleaning after use
• Durable design resists dents and leaks under normal service conditions
