Actually I find the top half of a 1 qt oil container cut at a nice 
angle works beautifully as well and is always at hand when you want 
to add oil anyway.  Put it in a zip-loc and toss it under the back 
seat.  Sort of like the ole spout for the paper cans, damn I do miss 
those for that reason, nice pour spout, course not that I'm old but I 
bet there are people on the list who don't even know what I'm talking 
about.  It's the little things tha date you, paper oil can pour spouts and 
being able to have seen Star Wars when it was really released.  You 
know the damn paper cans stacked better and were more efficient 
packaging too, wonder who did the lobbying hatched number on them?
