Catching the oil is easy; carrying it is the design problem · review
The big one: 18 liters in a 565 by 420 mm (16.5 in) tray, for jobs where a car-sized pan would overflow.
The last word Capacity and footprint. Nothing else, and sometimes that is the whole requirement.
An 18 liter drain tray measuring 565 by 420 mm (16.5 in), stated for oil and coolant.
Coolant. A cooling system holds far more than a sump, it comes out under gravity from an awkward angle, and there is no plug to aim. A large tray is the only thing that keeps it off the floor.
A spout, a scale or a filter rest. It is a tray, and the trade for that simplicity is capacity.
A large tray for catching, a sealed container for carrying. Between them the job stays clean.
On sale at around $98 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

Because the first second of a drain plug coming out is unpredictable — the stream arcs, and a small pan catches the middle of it. A 565 mm (22.2 in) tray catches the whole arc.
The maker states both. In practice keeping them separate is better: coolant should go to a collection point uncontaminated, and old oil should not be diluted.
At $98, it is the 3 cheapest of the 3 models in this category published here.
