KlausC wrote--"Get your synthetic oil at Costco or WallyWorld, 5 quart containers." In the last few months we've been driving our first white block Volvo - a 2002 S40, now with only 30k miles on it. I've changed the oil for the second time (using a name brand synthetic the first time in a 5 quart container and official Mini-Cooper 5w-30 the second in quart containers--son Dan is a M-C tech-the price was right). So -- my question is this - given the "strainer" located in the oil filler neck and the difficulty of being able to use a funnel -- does anyone have a convenient way of handling a 5 quart container while trying to fill the motor without spilling oil all over the cam cover? By convenient I mean without having to first pour the oil into a one quart container or having an assistant holding a normal funnel. -- Dave
