I think I've "done the research" three or four times on the whole which-drain-for-my-lift thing and finally, after this thread, I simply pulled the trigger. Just ordered the Lisle mentioned numerous times above with the larger ****** pan drain funnel and splash pad.

Thanks guys, you cost me another $100 like usual!

Freakin enablers....:)

Mine will be similar. Only difference in sight glass is the hose is connected at the bottom and secured to the side. It doubles as the sight glass. Also makes it easy to gravity drain by pulling the hose clamp up high. I doubt I will use air to empty it much. Just raise it up and let gravity do the work.

I have a simple pan and dump it in to a 5 gallon bucket. I don't miss the old days of continuous oil change, points and plug service along with old PCV and air filters.

I had the smaller Lisle plastic one when I first got my 2-post lift but only used it for about six months before stepping up to something a little larger and with a larger pan. I also wanted a steel pan with corrugated shelf inside vs. the plastic of the Lisle. Lastly I wanted as large a pan as I could get and most seemed to be in the 12-14 inch diameter. After much research I kept coming back to the Crew Chief from John Dow Industries. It has a large 16 diameter and deep funnel with catch tray, it is adjustable all the way up to 70" in height and has a pressurized evacuation system which is very convenient for transferring to 5-gallon containers and transporting. I believe the tank itself holds about 26-gallons and has a nice sight glass for easy monitoring of fluid level.

Here is a half-assed picture of mine next to my dividing drawers.

I have had mine for 6+ years now and haven't found anything I like better but I do remember it being a bit pricey. I purchased mine from my local NAPA store when it was offered on their Real Deals promotion.
