8L Oil drain pan pouring spout weir

I've had a 8L oil drain pan for a few years now and the spout area was so badly designed/shaped that you had to pour out the oil reeeally slowly otherwise it would spill over the edges. These drain pans are sold in Australia (as copies) under the brands Supatool (Kincrome), Gearup (from Repco), GarageTough (from Autobarn), Hilka Tools, WildKat, BikeIt, Lion, and probably plenty of other various generic names. My solution was a couple of simple pieces to act as a weir and works great and can pour oil out much faster. the pieces press on with a slight push but to keep it in place, I applied a small amount of silicon under the pieces. Note : The photo of a demo pour is with water into my garden, not oil.
