Performance Tool oil drain pan 2.8 qt low-profile plastic — splash-guard lip, chemical-resistant

The Performance Tool W4073 is a 2.8-quart low-profile plastic oil drain pan made to catch oil neatly from small engines and motorcycles while minimizing splashes and spills.

This compact drain pan combines a tapered low-profile nose, splash-guard lip and durable chemical-resistant plastic so you can change oil from lawn mowers, ATVs and bikes without creating a mess. At 2.8 quarts (2.64 L) capacity and 15.9 x 8.5 x 2.68 inches overall dimensions, the pan fits close to engine drain plugs and holds the volume used by most small engines and motorcycles up to 1000 cc. The curved shape channels fluid into the reservoir and the narrow tip slips under tight clearances where taller pans won’t reach.

How does this drain pan reduce spills when changing oil?

The W4073’s tapered end and splash-guard lip direct flowing oil into the reservoir instead of letting it scatter. Its low-profile form allows the narrow tip to seat against the engine, limiting leaks and splashes from the drain area.

• Tapered low-profile nose fits under drain plugs for cleaner capture
• Curved body and splash guard guide fluid inward
• Narrow end reduces exposed opening that causes splatter
• Wide catch area holds sudden flow without overflow

Will it work on my lawn mower, motorcycle or small engine?

Yes — the pan is made for small engines and bikes where clearance is tight and oil volumes are modest. Its 2.8-quart capacity covers typical oil changes for many motorcycles up to 1000 cc and most residential lawn equipment.

• Capacity: 2.8 qt (2.64 L) suitable for many single- and twin-cylinder bikes
• Low profile fits under mowers, ATVs, and compact engine housings
• Dimensions allow positioning beneath low-clearance drain plugs
• Useful for quick routine maintenance and small-volume transfers

How durable is the pan and how does it handle chemicals?

The W4073 is molded from heavy-duty, chemical-resistant plastic designed to withstand common automotive fluids without cracking or degrading from oil and solvents. That construction keeps the pan serviceable for repeated oil changes and general fluid handling tasks.

• Heavy-duty plastic resists routine exposure to engine oil and additives
• Rigid body preserves shape when placed under drains
• Easy-to-clean surface for reuse between services
• Lightweight for portability yet sturdy enough for garage use

How do I use and store the drain pan efficiently?

Place the narrow end of the pan directly beneath the drain plug before loosening it; the low profile keeps the catch area close to the flow. After draining, pour used oil into an approved container for recycling and wipe the pan clean to store in a toolbox or on a shelf.

• Seat the tapered end flush against the engine drain point
• Allow oil to fully drain into the reservoir before removing pan
• Transfer oil to a sealed recycling jug—do not discard in trash
• Rinse with a minimal solvent or wipe dry for storage

Who is this for: The Performance Tool W4073 2.8-quart low-profile oil drain pan is ideal for homeowners, motorcycle riders and backyard mechanics who need a compact, reliable catch pan for lower-volume oil changes. If you work on lawn mowers, ATVs, small motorcycles (up to 1000 cc) or any engine with restricted clearance, this pan reduces mess and makes routine maintenance quicker and neater. It’s also a sensible choice for mobile technicians who value a lightweight, chemical-resistant pan that fits into tight spaces and stores easily between jobs.
