Hazet 197N-1 multi-purpose tray, 6 l review

A 6 liter tray with an internal measuring scale and a molded rest for the filter — the two details that turn a tub into a tool.

The last word Two design details nobody else bothers with. Worth the trade-brand price.

What lands on the bench

A 6 liter polyethylene tray, 400 mm (15.7 in) long, with an internal scale in liters and gallons, a molded filter rest and a continuous pouring rim.

The scale is a diagnostic

Compare what came out against the capacity in the handbook. A liter missing is information, and it costs nothing to read.

The filter rest

A molded hump with anti-slip retention, so the filter drains standing up instead of rolling into the pan and floating. Small, and the sort of thing you only notice when it is absent.

What it does not do

Carry the oil away sealed. That is what the containers elsewhere in this hub are for, and the transfer between the two is where driveways get stained.

Availability

On sale at around $33 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

What it does, and what it misses

Strengths

  • An internal scale, so you can see whether the engine gave back what it should
  • A molded rest that holds the filter while it drains instead of letting it roll
  • A continuous rim, which is what stops oil running down the outside when pouring

Compromises

  • 6 liters is tight for a large diesel with a big filter
  • Open tray, so it does not carry oil to a collection point sealed
  • Trade-brand price for a plastic tray

The questions that reach us

Why measure what comes out?

Because a significant shortfall means oil went somewhere else — a leak, or consumption. It is a free diagnostic that only requires a scale on the pan you already own.

Open tray or sealed container?

A tray catches better and carries worse. Many people use a tray under the car and pour into an old container afterwards, which is the step where oil ends up on the driveway.
