DIY oil change pan

What type/brand of oil pan are you guys using to catch the oil. It appears that no one likes the Blitz brand that I have seen. I'm just looking for a straight forward pan than can be later poured into a transportable container for disposal.

Thanks.

I bought one at Pepboys that is open at the top and has a spout for pouring out the oil when you are done. This replaced one I had (still have) that had a "apn" on the top with a samll plugable drain hole to a container. The drain could never keep up with the flow of oil from the engine so I was always spliiling oil. No o=more with the open top. Sorry I don't have a picture of it.

The AutoZone one is the one I got, but got it at PepBoys in green. Works much better than the others I have seen. The next trick is to get a 5 gallon bucket with a top at Home Depot. Just pour the oil into the bucket, You can get 2-3 oil changes in a bucket before you have to take it to a Jiffylube or Autozone to dispose of the oil.

You can also get the oil disposal bottles at Walmart. I saw they had 3-gallon and 5-gallon bottles with a cap.

I don't know the brand I bought it at Wally World. It has two openings when you lie it flat and a cap. It fits nicely under the car but leaves no room for your hand to get it to loosen or tighten the drain plug. I like the fact that the oil did not spatter outside of it and the openings are too small for the drain plug to fall through.
