Product Information
Full details
The Hilka 18L Drip Tray is an essential tool for DIY mechanics and home garage enthusiasts looking to maintain a clean workspace during routine vehicle maintenance. With a generous 18-litre capacity and a low-profile construction, it effectively collects oil, coolant, and other automotive fluids while easily sliding underneath most vehicles. While its large size is excellent for volume, users should be mindful that its wide surface area requires a level floor to ensure fluids do not pool in the corners rather than draining toward the center.

FAQs
Can I use this tray to store corrosive chemicals long-term?
The tray is built for automotive fluids like oil and coolant; avoid using it for highly corrosive acids or solvents not intended for automotive use.
Is the material heat resistant?
It is designed for standard automotive fluids which are typically warm, but it should not be placed in direct contact with hot exhaust components.
How do I dispose of the collected fluids?
Transfer collected fluids into a sealed, labeled container and take them to your local hazardous waste or oil recycling facility.
Will this fit under a lowered car?
The tray features a low-profile design, but please measure the clearance of your specific vehicle's lowest point to ensure a proper fit.
Does the tray have a pouring spout?
The tray is designed as a basin; utilize a funnel when transferring fluids from the tray into a storage container to ensure a clean pour.
Troubleshooting
Fluid pooling in corners
Ensure the tray is placed on a completely level floor surface to encourage flow toward the center.
Difficulty moving the tray while full
Use a small trolley or slide a piece of cardboard underneath the tray to move it carefully without tipping or spilling.
Staining on the tray surface
Clean immediately after use with a grease-cutting detergent to prevent long-term residue buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for the Hilka Drip Tray; it is ready to use straight out of the packaging. It is compatible with all standard automotive fluids, including engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant. After use, drain the contents into a suitable disposal container according to local environmental regulations. To clean, wipe the interior with a paper towel or use a mild degreaser and water. Store the tray in a flat position to prevent warping, preferably in a dry area away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the plastic over time.
