Recommendations for collecting used oil?

[TooManyAxles]

Just learned the e92 m3 holds a ridiculous amount of oil. What can I use to collect that much oil at home?

I have a collection pan for other vehicles but it maxes out at 8 quarts. It’s open top so it’s risky when lifting it and pouring out anything near 7 quarts. Do folks drain from one plug and then the other to get around this issue? I have quickjacks on the way which should help.

Autozome. It handles two changes for sure and almost a third. You can open both drain holes at once.

I use 2 of these, one for each drain plug, though you could drain one plug and then the other with just one I suppose.

I have one of those Drain pains with an electric pump, they hold like 15Gal at the lowest i think? then i just pump the oil back into the bottles lol.

Thanks, do you have to clean the pump or turning?

i haven't had to clean the pump yet, but i use one of those squeegees to get every last but into the pump to get it sucked out of the pan into the containers.

After that i just wipe it with a clean towel and roll it back into storage.

Same as Scrippy’s, just slightly modded.
