A system is provided for removing oil from an oil filter of a motor vehicle. The system includes a housing with a top rim, an upper portion, a lower portion, and a bottom rim. The top rim of the housing includes a first diameter. The housing includes the bottom rim with a second diameter that is less than the first diameter. The system also includes an upper cap with a flange including a first side and an opposing second side. The flange is disposed at a top portion of the upper cap. The first side of the flange is coupled to the top rim of the housing. A bottom portion of the upper cap extends into the housing. The upper cap includes a central aperture for draining the oil from the oil filter into the housing.

An attachable fluid leak capture assembly including a mesh carrier having an absorbing media pad embedded therein, and an attachment mechanism for attaching the mesh carrier to a leaking vehicle or machinery part. A method of capturing fluids from vehicles or machines, by attaching the attachable fluid leak capture assembly to a vehicle or machine part leaking fluid through the attachment mechanism and absorbing the leaking fluid onto the absorbing media pad.

A method of transporting a vehicle that has a ruptured fluid container from an accident includes affixing a fluid absorbent diaper to the vehicle at the location of the ruptured fluid container. The diaper has an absorbent planar member being at least about half the size of the vehicle undercarriage and a plurality of spaced bungee straps extending from edge portions of the member. The vehicle can then be transported and/or stored without risk of spillage of hydrocarbon fluid or battery acid.

A fluid collection container includes a self-supporting, collapsible bag with a threaded cylindrical inlet ring or spout and a strainer removably seated within the ring. The strainer can separate a macroscopic solid object from a viscous liquid. The fluid collection container includes a rectangular prismatic box with the spout extending through and a threaded cap removably coupled to the spout. A method of draining automotive oil includes positioning the bag beneath an oil pan of an automobile, removing an oil plug from the automotive oil pan and allowing the oil plug to fall into the strainer; draining the automotive oil through the strainer into the bag; removing an oil filter from the automobile; removing the strainer from the inlet; inserting the oil filter; and screwing a threaded the cap onto the inlet.

A fan drive gear system for a turbofan engine is disclosed and includes a gear assembly and a front center body. The front center body is an annular case that supports the gear assembly. The front center body includes a passage portion that defines a portion of a core flow path, a forward flange configured for attachment to a first case structure forward of the front center body, and a gutter portion disposed on a radially inner side of the front center body for collecting lubricant exhausted from the geared assembly.
