    using 5 gallon oil bottles

    I'm using a 5 gallon oil jug for the first time this upcoming oil change - any good funnels or other tips?

    Pour from 5 gallon container into a 1 gallon jug, Then pour from 1 gallon into engine, otherwise to hard to have a "controlled pour".

    You can go right from the 5 quart size easily if you get the right funnel. Recommend this one:

    You have to steady the funnel with your one hand, and pour with the other. Easy to stop and start without spilling.

    Bob, Might be faster and easier to just use a transfer pump.

    Fewer buckets, no funnels, no mess (hopfully)

    So my typo was 5 gallon - actually I got 5 quart containers. First time using them, I used the funnel recommended by TheTorch. Valvoline VR1 20W-50. Much easier than 10 1 quart containers!
