These fall into the "why didn't I think of that?" category.

Package it however you want.

It is a great idea and the flex bottle works great, but Valvoline only packages the $21 full synthetic 75W-90 in it. If you have an older car and want to use the $14 pure dino stuff you are stuck with the old bottle. I put synthetic in my VW, but was warned against it in my 356. I saved a flex bottle from the synthetic and transferred the dino oil into it in order to fill my '56 coupe.

If you've ever thought "I wish my antifreeze/gallon of oil/etc... bottle had a long nozzle on it" the next time that you're at a gas station and you see something like this



Snag the nozzle off of one of those bottles. Take it home, rinse it out, and let it dry thoroughly. Then you'll have a nozzle for many/most of your automotive bottle needs.

That's a great idea, Steve. I'll watch for that.

It occurs to me the gear oil bag/bottle idea would not allow for easy measuring like the ordinary rigid bottle. But this man has a solution:

Many automotive liquid bottles like Gas Treatment additives are shaped with a long long neck to add fluids to your gas tank. Cut the bottom off one of these and it makes a great funnel to reach spots.
