Abstract
An oil drain apparatus comprises a plurality of fittings, a plurality of tubing sections, and a valve. The oil drain apparatus may further include a washer and a removable cap, thus limiting the amount of oil spilled. A first threaded fitting screws into the oil pan of a vehicle and oil is then enabled to travel the length of the sections of tubing to a containing vessel. The valve enables a user to prevent unintentional oil spillage. The removeable cap screws onto one end of the apparatus to prevent leaking from the tubing. The apparatus may be coiled and secured to the underside of the vehicle during operation of the vehicle.
