This is a very sturdy container with an excellent design. I changed my own oil for the first time using this, and made virtually no mess at all. The handle makes it easy to carry and it does not appear to leak. As another reviewer mentioned, the circle in the side of the container is actually a funnel, which detatches and screws into the hole in the side of the container. I do not see this as a flaw in the product. From a functional standpoint, It really makes no difference since the funnel attaches in seconds and has a large enough diameter so that it can easily catch all of the draining oil. It's true that the funnel needs to be cleaned, however it's not much of a hassle at all, and any oil container should be cleaned periodically. Overall, this is a considerable improvement over existing designs that have large lids on the side, which tend to be prone to leaks.

I read the reviews and was hoping that I'd finally found a storage container that wouldn't leak. I made it through one oil change with no problems. Yesterday I left my truck to drain into the container for the second change while I went inside for lunch. Came back out and there was oil all over my garage floor coming from the top cap of the container. I tried to tighten the cap to stop the leaking with no luck. I'm going to try the 15 Quart Oil Drain Pan/Recycling Container that claims to have a patented leak proof design from oilfiltersonline.com to see if I have better luck.Best Deals for Wedco Oil Drain Pan
Ordered this on-line and paid shipping as I can no longer find it in stores. My old one had the gasket go bad after many years of service. New design is even an improvement since there is no longer an opening at the bottom. Its small profile lets me side it under my BMW Z3 without jacking it up until the tailpipe drags. Made of tough Polypropylene. Ones sold in auto parts stores are useless junk by comparison.Honest reviews on Wedco Oil Drain Pan
The funnel in this unit is worth the price of the who drain container unit.I don't use the container, anymore. I use a used one gallon used squat one gallon orange container. It fits under the emgine area with plenty of room to spare, when the car is on ramps. It captures most all the oil from the filter change, and the filter can be allowed to drain into the bottle, after you slide the assembly from under the car. Walmart, unlike most auto parts stores, keeps the container. I left the black container with them, when it became full. But I kept the funnnel.
After the fill the Go-Jo bottle, I transfer the oile to another bottle that I can discard. It screws onto the top of most antifreeze or cheap windshield washer bottles. You don't even need the drain container.
I use the large funnel often for transferring all sorts of liquids into plastic bottles without spilling the liquid.
This is one super funnel.

I ordered 2 of these and when they arrived they were as I expected with the exception that one of the tanks was missing the yellow screw cap. I contacted the seller and left voicemails but have never heard back from them on the missing piece. Product will work fine and a telecoping catch funnel would help get it closer to oil drain hole on the trucks.Would have ranked it higher but non response from seller is a major issue for me.
