I know most of you are really rich , but for the average guys here this is a bit of yesterday for me to have one of these around.
I get about a liter every five or so oil changes.

At least it keeps the oil can full. Made from gutter down pipe and old oil jug.

I do not have the draining device you built... but I do let the bottles drain into the engine   a  long time when I change oil on a vehicle

The shop owner of the place I worked in the mid `70s built a "can" drainer out of a length of sloped angle iron mounted on the wall. Since we did oil changes it accumulated fast, we did the changes faster..... free oil.

When I worked/ran a service station back in the 60s, we used a length of evestrough on a slope to catch all the drippings including ATF. That's all I ran in my car. The trough worked, cuz all we had were cans at that time.

My dad told me a shop back in the 50s did the same thing with every can of oil and sold it,it was a mixture of all weights and people with oil burners is who bought it.
