Lisle 22" No-Splatter Pad — 22-inch Square Oil & Fluid Absorbent, Black, Chemical-Resistant

Lisle 38780 is a 22-inch square no-splatter pad designed to stop messy oil and fluid spray during vehicle service, directing liquids into funnels or drain pans while protecting floors and work areas.

Changing oil or draining fluids can create splatter that soils concrete, shop floors, and driveway surfaces. The Lisle 22" Square No-Splatter Pad slips into transmission drain funnels or larger drain pans to absorb and channel fluids quickly, resisting common automotive chemicals so you can work cleaner and reduce cleanup time.

How does this pad prevent oil splatter?

The pad’s porous construction lets fluid pass through into the funnel or pan while breaking up and containing splashes and spray. Instead of bouncing off a hard surface, fluid is captured on the pad’s fibers and guided downward, minimizing airborne droplets and backsplash.

• 22" square size covers large funnel openings and drain areas.
• Porous material permits rapid fluid passage into collection points.
• Absorbs splatter to reduce droplet rebound and shop mess.

Which fluids is the pad compatible with and which should be avoided?

The material is formulated to resist engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, brake cleaner, gear oil and many common solvents, so it holds up during typical vehicle service. Important: do not use the pad with coolants or any fluid you plan to recycle back into the vehicle, as loose fibers can contaminate recovered liquids.

• Resists oils, transmission fluids, gear oil, brake fluids and many solvents.
• Not suitable for fluids intended for reuse or recycling (coolant warning).
• Check recovered fluid before reuse to avoid contamination.

Can the pad be trimmed to fit my tools and pans?

Yes — the Lisle pad can be cut to size for a custom fit inside funnels or pans, giving flexibility for different drain setups. Trimming helps ensure full coverage and better containment when working with smaller or irregular collection devices.

• Easily cut to shape for snug placement in funnels or pans.
• Custom sizing improves coverage and reduces exposed floor area.
• Good for irregular or oversized drain openings.

How durable is the material during routine shop use?

The pad’s construction resists breakdown from common automotive liquids so it remains effective during a service session. While durable against many fluids, it’s a disposable accessory intended for repeated short-term use rather than long-term permanent installations.

• Material resists degradation from oils and many solvents.
• Designed for multiple uses during a single maintenance task.
• Dispose responsibly after contamination or heavy use.

Who is this for: Technicians, DIY mechanics, and maintenance crews who want a simple, inexpensive way to reduce mess during oil changes and fluid drains will find the Lisle 38780 pad useful. It’s ideal for busy shops, mobile technicians, and home garages that need quick containment and cleaner floors without complex equipment. Remember to avoid using it with fluids you intend to recycle back into the vehicle.
