Draining oil with engine skid?

[CodaMan]

Draining engine oil with an engine skid can be a hassle. What is everyone doing? I see this fitting from Fumoto, any others out there?

I cut apart a soda or powerade bottle and Stick it in between the oil pan and skid.

I use a Fumoto valve with the Savvy engine skid. Easy and mess free so far. The white elbow rotates and snaps off if you don't want to leave it on there, I leave it on though. I attach a hose to it and drain directly into my container.

The skidrow plate has the drain hole placed correctly, it isn't an issue for me. When I pull the filter I just use a small tray on the skid to catch the oil but the main plug drains just fine without anything special.

Edit: looking at the pictures the Savvy skid has a much smaller hole, guess that's the difference

Another vote for stahlbus. My savvy engine skid has a hole directly under the drain.
