  This product is garbage January 3, 2009
I bought this product to prevent oil spills. Conceptually it is sound. Practically, not so much. once it fills with oil, the oil leaks out of the smaller front lid sending oil on to the floor. No matter how you twist the smaller cap it will not make a seal. I am returning this product for a refund. Terrible. In addition, the larger top lid is no better. I bought this from a brick store and compared it to others of the same product, and they all have very poor quality (none of them made proper lid seals). Save yourself a headache and disappointment. Do not buy this product.
Don't buy this product! November 12, 2008
While draining the oil from the drain pan, the yellow lid popped off and dumped half of the oil on me! The large yellow lid doesn't even seal properly so you are highly likely to spill oil almost no mater what you do. If there was a zero star option, the product would get it from me. Save yourself a lot of hassle and buy a higher rated product.
Looks like the older good one, but isn't July 13, 2008
Ten or fifteen years ago someone made a design similar to this. But it was good quality, heavy plastic, had asymmetric threads on the caps so they'd pull down properly, had o-ring seals on both large and small caps, and high-quality plastic materials that didn't swell with oil exposure and lose their fit. THIS is NOT that unit. (The original one said "DRAINMASTER" and "SEALBEST" on the cover.) This one is junk. I'd pay triple what this one cost for the original.
Rubbish June 8, 2008
As the other reviews have noted, this oil pan is rubbish. Unfortunately, I did not read the review prior to purchasing this at Walmart, and everything the other reviewers have noted is true about this product. The drain cap leaked, so I tightened it, and then the plastic cap cracked. There are no rubber o-ring seals for either screw cap. A very poor design by Blitz and should be redisigned by engineers that actually change their own car oil.
Leaks oil April 11, 2008
As previous reviewers said, you can not rely on this thing to seal - either @ the top with the large-diameter cap or the side, with the small-diameter cap. Unacceptable.
