PIG 5-Gallon Oil Storage Container — Translucent Oil Jug, Wide Mouth & HDPE

The PIG 5-gallon translucent oil jug is a durable, easy-to-use storage and transport container engineered to collect, seal and carry up to 20 quarts of used motor oil with minimal mess.

Designed for DIYers, small shops and fleet maintenance, this PIG oil container simplifies draining and recycling used lubricants. Its wide mouth lets oil flow in cleanly, translucent walls show fluid level at a glance, and a fold-down handle makes trips to recycling centers manageable. Constructed from high-density polyethylene, the jug balances strength and light weight for repeated use.

How does this jug make an oil change cleaner and faster?

The large opening accepts oil directly from a drain pan or spout, reducing spills and drips. You can drain straight into the container and close it securely to avoid splatter during transport. The translucent sides remove guesswork so you can stop draining at the right time.

• 20-quart (5-gallon) capacity for multiple oil changes between trips
• Wide mouth designed for easy pouring and quick draining
• Translucent walls show fill level to prevent overfill
• Sturdy fold-down handle for controlled carrying

Is this container safe for transporting used oil and other fluids?

The jug is built from high-density polyethylene, a chemical-resistant plastic commonly used for fluid storage, and is reusable for automotive liquids. It is UN rated; however, the end user must confirm the UN rating matches the material being transported and follow the provided closure instructions to ensure compliant transport.

• Durable HDPE construction resists common automotive fluids
• Reusable design reduces single-use waste
• UN rating provided — check suitability for your fluid and closure needs

How easy is it to carry and store the PIG oil jug?

At roughly 11.5 inches in diameter and 14.75 inches tall, the container stacks or nests efficiently when empty and occupies a modest footprint when full. The fold-down handle locks into a carrying position for one-handed transport and folds flat for compact storage.

• External dimensions: 11.5" diameter x 14.75" height for space-efficient storage
• Fold-down handle for comfortable transport and compact storage when not in use
• Lightweight HDPE design keeps the filled weight manageable

What maintenance and reuse tips keep this jug working longer?

Rinse the jug after emptying it when possible and allow it to dry before long-term storage. Inspect the closure and handle for wear before each use, and tighten the cap fully to prevent leaks during transport. Store away from extreme heat or direct sunlight to preserve the plastic's durability.

• Rinse and dry between uses to reduce residue build-up
• Check closures and handle integrity before transporting liquids
• Store indoors or shaded to prolong material life

Who is this for: The PIG 5-gallon translucent oil jug suits home mechanics, small repair shops, fleet operators and anyone who performs routine oil changes and wants a safer, neater way to collect and transport used oil. It’s practical for users who need a reliable, reusable container with visible fill indication, easy pouring and a compact profile. Remember to verify the UN rating against your local transport regulations and the type of fluid you plan to store.
