I assume you mean draining the oil directly from the crankcase into a container? If so, NAPA has a 56 quart oil drain pan with a spout for emptying. Must be ordered from catalog. My prior truck had a 38 quart capacity. After draining into the 56 qt. pan, I poured the oil, via a large truck funnel, into two five gallon gas cans and emptied them at Wal-Mart. They have a five gallon limit, but once they know you, ten gallons can usually be dumped!
