If I were having to tote the oil to a recycling center, I might think the usefulness of having one of those fancy containers was worth it.

As it is... we just drain into a metal pan, funnel the dirty oil back into the jugs, store the oil in the basement, store the pan out on the woodpile, save the oil all year and use it dribble by dribble to get the woodstove lit in the heating season.

EDIT: Forgot to add this, hate to double-post. I'd also consider a suction device pain-saving if I had underbody pans still. Didn't come with the car, not about to replace them. Just something else to get in the way, fall off at bad times, etc.
