Midwest Can Drain Pan

Midwest Can Drain Pans: Practical Oil Recovery Built to Last

Midwest Can has been producing quality fluid-handling products since 1951, and their drain pans carry forward that same commitment to durability and no-fuss utility. Midwest Can features a full line of plastic drain pans for safely collecting, draining, and transferring oil, gas, and other fluids and mixtures. Whether you're a weekend DIYer tackling a routine oil change or a shop technician handling high-capacity diesel engines, Midwest Can offers a drain pan sized for the task.

Durable HDPE Construction

Made from durable, high-density polyethylene, Midwest Can drain pans are built for draining, storing, and transporting used oil. HDPE construction means these pans resist cracking and chemical degradation from engine oil, antifreeze, and other automotive fluids — a critical quality for any tool that lives under a vehicle. The large drain area reduces splashing and messes, making each pan an easy-to-use addition to your workshop.

A Size for Every Application

Midwest Can's drain pan lineup spans a range of capacities and configurations to match different vehicles and job types:

• 7-Quart Open Drain Pan: A low-profile, multi-purpose pan suited for draining oil, washing parts, feeding animals, or use as a wash tub. Its shallow profile is ideal for low-clearance vehicles.
• 9-Quart Closed Top Drain Pan: The 9-quart closed top drain pan is made from durable, high-density polyethylene, and its large drain area reduces splashing and messes. A solid everyday choice for most passenger cars and light trucks.
• 15-Quart Closed Top Drain Pan: This closed top oil recovery drain pan is a heavy-duty recycling pan with handles and a pour spout, designed to hold multiple oil changes and up to 15 quarts for high-capacity diesel engines. It's the go-to option for trucks, tractors, and larger SUVs.

The closed-top design on several models is worth noting: the heavy-duty recycling pan with handles and pour spout can hold the contents of multiple oil changes before needing to be emptied, saving time during back-to-back jobs. Additionally, Midwest Can offers a drain pan with a filter post — an oil drain pan with a post to hold and drain your oil filter, available in a 6-quart capacity. This clever detail keeps the workspace tidier by allowing the filter to drip directly into the pan rather than onto the floor.

A Brand Rooted in Fluid-Handling Expertise

Over 70 years ago, in a small shop in Chicago, IL, a returning World War II Navy veteran established the Midwest Can Company and began manufacturing portable gas cans for the American consumer. Since 1951, Midwest Can has been producing quality products including fuel containers, drain pans, funnels, and industrial and food-grade bottles. That deep heritage in plastic fluid-handling means drain pans aren't an afterthought — they're a core part of what Midwest Can does. Midwest Can drain pans are proudly made in the U.S.A.
