Need a recommendation on an oil drain pan

What are y'all using.
My 6.2 takes seven Qts, my daughter's 5.0 eight Qts, my wife's 5.4 sumpin like the others.
My little drain pans are about to be retired just now I had to have my wife kick the other one to me to switch out one that almost overflowed while I was under the car.

I like the open concept and I like to have a separate one for the oil filter drain.

Whatever 5 gallon gas can you can find on sale. Magnitudes easier to store without spilling and take in for recycling...plus with your fleet, you can probably fit everything into one container after an oil change.

I have a 15qt plastic pan that just gets dumped into the 5gal used oil gas can. Makes life so much easier than keeping oil in a flimsy pan.

Thanks Saratoga yeah life is a little easier not owning two diesels anymore at least the waste oil takes a little longer to fill up my container. Then I call ahead to see if the parts house waste/recycle tank has room in it for me to come dump mine.

My truck is a 2011 4X4 and I use a 5gallon home depot bucket. It fits perfectly.

I will admit I did stick my hand into the drain to make sure it was open on the one I have after pulling the drain plug.
I have never seen one open like that and I shop at Advance too.. LOL..

It can be a handful to dump! I am still using it.
