The document summarizes the development of an oil dispensing and collecting apparatus. Researchers designed and constructed the device, assembling cut and painted metal parts. They also created an operations manual with safety warnings and instructions. A survey was administered to assess the apparatus on functionality, maintainability, usability, and safety, finding that it scored highest in safety with a mean of 4.76.

in terms of functionality, maintainability, usability, and
safety. The collected data were tallied and statistically treated
for further interpretation. The research instrument was a
Likert scale format questionnaire. The researchers
purposefully chose 37 respondents composed of (20) twenty
3rd year students and (10) ten 2nd year students, with majors
in Bachelor of Science in Automotive Technology who are
enrolled this school year 2021-2022, (5) five automotive
technicians, and (2) two automotive professors of Bicol
University College of Industrial Technology to represent the
sample.
During the development stage, the researchers
designed and constructed the device by measuring the
required materials, cutting them, drilling the required parts,
and welding the cut metals to make the key frame and
separately painted. All the parts were assembled as one
component.
After completing the device, the researchers created a user's
operations manual to assist mechanics and other users in
operating the device. The manual includes the general safety
warnings on work area safety, personal safety, apparatus use
and care, and service and finally the device's operating
instructions.
According to the survey results, the Level of Acceptability of
the Oil Dispensing and Collecting Apparatus in terms of its functionality, maintainability, usability and safety. Proven that the construction the apparatus to is anchored to provide great safety to its user/operator, to the vehicle, and the environment, the mean score of the apparatus in terms of safety is 4.76 which has the highest mean score among the four parameters. Alongside safety, the functionality is
