How we rank

Every tool gets one score from 0 to 100, weighted 45% on its star rating, 35% on how many people have reviewed it (more reviews = more confidence the rating is real), and 20% on the features that matter for the job. The list is ordered by that score. Best Overall is our pick for the best all-around, ready-to-use tool; Best Budget the best value at or under $15; and Money No Object the one to buy if price is no object.

The features score is built from sealed (30%), capacity 12 (25%), low profile (25%), plug screen (20%), capped at 100. The review-count score is on a log scale, so each tenfold jump in reviews adds the same amount, and 4,500 or more reviews gets full marks. Open Why this score on any tool to see its numbers.

What changed

We re-check every listing on this page on a rotation. The most recent changes:

Buyer's guide

How much capacity do I need?

Check your engine's oil capacity and add a few quarts. Most cars take 4 to 6 quarts; trucks and diesels can take 8 to 15.

Open pan or sealed container?

Open pans are easy to drain into and clean. Sealed containers let you cap the used oil and carry it to a recycling center without spilling.

Low profile

ATVs, mowers and lowered cars need a pan under about 5 inches tall.

Why a screen?

A screen catches the drain plug when it drops, so you don't fish it out of hot oil, and gives the old filter a place to drain.

Where does used oil go?

Most auto parts stores and many recycling centers take used oil and filters for free. Never pour it out.

Tools to avoid

Not everything in the search results deserves your money. This one would rank dead last on our scale — here's the listing to walk past, and exactly why.

Dorman

Dorman 95-1371 15 Quart Plastic Drain Pan

3.8 1,644 reviews   $27.78

A 15-quart drain pan listed under Dorman with another company's name in the model field and almost no product detail.

Why we'd skip it

  • The model field reads 'JEGS', a separate parts retailer, while the title and brand say Dorman.
  • The listing gives no dimensions, material or spout details; one of its four bullets only says other sizes are available.
  • It's rated 3.8 stars on 1,644 reviews. The Performance Tool W4071 holds more, costs less and is rated 4.7.
