his will control the oil flood, never spill a drop again

Greg: I can't tell if that's a complete rig or if you added the tall pan? I use the same, black catch can but you're absolutely correct, it's the height that matters, especially when you have the pressure of all that oil pushing it.

If you bought it as is, might you have a link?

2 things
The hole where the oil goes into the pan, should be opened up to accommodate the funnel, it has a trap.

Then cut the funnel tube off so the funnel will sit solidly on the raised ridge of the drain pan, & not wiggle around.

I can measure the down spout & post if you like?

I got mine from:
https://industrialtecsupply.com/pro...-oil-drain-valve-m12-1-75-with-clip-new-style
They had the best price/shipping, but that was a couple of years ago.

For the moment, hold off, Greg as I have another question..

How do you keep the funnel top from flopping over (when the first hard stream hits the side,) with just part of the spout in the oil opening?

Pictures, worth a thousand words :-)

the threads for the plug are still there, so it still seals.

3 inches

Very sturdy, the oil goes right into the drain pan, never accumulates in the funnel.

OK, got it, Greg, and where did you get the funnel? I have to go out and check my drain pan to see if it's exactly like yours, I THINK it is. Just can't remember if it has a hole on the side or top.

MANY thanks, amigo! Easy peazy. :-) But I got a chuckle when I went to funnel link because it was for TWELVE of them but I FIRST looked at the PRICE! $122! <laughing> And then I saw the link at the top for just one. $23, a bit more reasonable. <grin>

The drain pan (from Wally World via Kamazonski..whodda thought, right?) FINALLY showed up, Greg and I've been waiting to cut the funnel until I first do the pan cutout.

But for reference purposes, (measure twice..) can you tell me how much of the spout is remaining after the cut? (or how much you cut off?)

I'm trying to visualize a view from inside the pan and I'm seeing maybe an inch of funnel?

TIA, Greg.

Just a warning to any driveway warriors doing their first 5.0 oil change, that oil comes out FAST. My catch can is the type where it drain down from the top and the Mustangs mighty stream overwhelmed the little hole and made a MESS on my ep henry driveway.

As a FYI...I found a product that helps draw oil out of a concrete drive. The result is a white powder which of course can be removed. If the oil was permitted to set overly long, it may take numerous applications to meet your level of satisfaction. The product is: Pull-It-Out"

Fumoto is above the belly pan. Blue clip is the safety lock. Just attach a hose, put it in your drain pan, remove the blue clip, lift the lever up out of it's locked position and rotate to open. It is as mess free as you can get. I have a black vinyl cap on the hose barb to keep everything squeaky clean.

Actually I installed that same fitting on my son's Ford Expedition. Love it. It comes in handy to avoid time consuming, awkwardness of taking the large under-panel off his vehicle each oil change. A word of caution however for the Mustang.

Over my 55 years of driving I've been surprised by objects in the road either at night or when following another car. One 1986 incident in Dallas on I-35E, 700 miles from home comes to mind. The down-protruding fitting would have been broken by the object that the vehicle in front of me successfully straddled, but caused extensive transmission x-member damage to my car.
