In the past, whenever I wanted to do a drain fill of a transmission, coolant, or anything else that doesn't always have an exact drain capacity, I'd use an old 5qt oil jug to get a rough estimate. But I want something more exact. I remember seeing once what looked like a large lemonade jug, with measured increments up to like 7 or 8 quarts. I have no idea what to search for, and it doesn't even need a spout. Something like this:

Rubbermaid container

Any ideas? It needs to hold at least 6 quarts, since a coolant or tranny drain on the Fusion is right around there.

That looks like a good dispenser. I'm not necessarily looking for a dispenser though; more of something I can empty an oil-drain pan into and see how much fluid I have to put back in.


A bucket and a marker. If you can't find a bucket with graduated markings on it, just find a quart container and use water to initially measure and mark it.
 
I think this should fit the bill:

Walmart - $8 or less.
