My embarrassing post number 2 on this subject:
I have a Honda outboard motor on my boat. The crankcase holds 6 quarts. I knew that because I looked up in the manual how many quarts of oil I needed to buy.
I put my cheapo 5 quart capacity plastic oil drain pan under the outboard and pulled the plug. (You smart folks already know where this is going.....)
You can't, I repeat CAN'T, put 6 quarts of used oil in a 5 quart oil drain pan.
Big stain in the street in front of the house.
