Just curious what everyone does.
I only started using 5 gallon oil pails since rebuilding the 5.9 Cummins in my Dodge Ram last fall. I used 2.5 gallon jugs before that.
When doing this fall's oil change with a 5 gallon pail of Rotella T 10W-30 I unscrewed the cap and just poured the oil into a a measuring container directly from the pail. I made sure to wipe the pour area first, and it was a bit messy when I was done. I do know that hand pumps exist specifically for this application. I also have a pour spout that fits on 5 gallon pails of paint but the threads on the oil pail are very shallow so I can't see a paint spout working.
So what to you guys do? Pour directly, hand pump, some type of spout, scoop it out with the wife's soup ladle, something else I'm not aware of?
