Product Information
Full details
The Bike It 8L Oil Drain Can is designed for home mechanics and workshop enthusiasts looking to simplify motorcycle and scooter maintenance. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-capacity reservoir with a specialized fluted collection pan, which effectively eliminates spills and workspace clutter during routine oil changes. While it is rugged and convenient, it is specifically optimized for small-to-mid-sized engine oil volumes, meaning owners of larger vehicle engines may need to perform more frequent emptying to prevent overflow.

FAQs
Is this container suitable for fuel storage?
No, this container is specifically designed for the collection and drainage of waste oil only.
Can I leave waste oil in the container long-term?
It is recommended to transport waste oil to a recycling facility as soon as possible rather than using the container for long-term storage.
Will this fit under my sports bike?
Yes, its low-profile design is specifically engineered to fit under most motorcycles with limited ground clearance.
What should I do if a stopper is lost?
Always ensure the stoppers are stored in a safe place. If lost, the unit should not be transported while containing oil to avoid spills.
Is the container impact-resistant?
It is made of durable materials suitable for standard workshop use, but avoid dropping it from significant heights while full.
Troubleshooting
Oil overflowing the collection pan
Ensure the oil flow is directed toward the center drain hole rather than the edges of the fluted area.
Stopper is leaking during transport
Ensure the threads are clean of debris before inserting the stopper and tighten firmly by hand.
Difficulty cleaning residue inside
Use a small amount of mild degreaser and warm water to break down stubborn oil films.

Care Instructions:
- Wipe down the exterior after every use to prevent grime buildup.
