Waste not want not.
So, what about that stubborn last bit of oil ?

I am a frugal, cheap Guzzi owner, so I get every last drop whether oil or spaghetti sauce. :bow:

When the bottle stops pouring and just drips, I wait a short time and then cap and toss the bottle.
I should do what my dad did is to have a spare "clean" bottle and let them drain into that. Then, even if it's a mix, it can be used to lube other things like door hinges, ect..
I leave my funnel in the engine for a few minutes, then I use and old bottle to drain anything left in the funnel. After many years, I have yet to need to change out that bottle.

Drain the bottles into a jar and then refill my oilcan. Normally get 1 to 2 ounces

The "like" bottles are (precariously) perched on top of each other for a couple hours of drain time. We use the same brand and grade for many of our bikes, and so this does yield a bit of motor oil.

I drain them into another bottle, and that goes into a old beater car my daughter drives, and that uses oil. Its never a lot, but you know a half qt or so, is still a half qt..

Oil bottles are always left to drain awhile. It either goes into the last bottle to be used as needed or put into an oil can pump for a machine tool. The liquid laundry detergent is another container that I always drain thoroughly into the new one. That usually yields a couple of free loads of wash.

LOL - add a little water and shake the bottle..... :boozing:

I will run hot water over a Hershey' syrup bottle to ensure I get all the syrup out for my ice cream. It is more valuable than engine oil. :wink:

Do any of you guys cut the bottle open and swab down the sides with a paper towel? An oily rag is handy you know.

Too much trouble. We just pour in four ounces of gasoline and shake shake shake and then use it for 2-stroke oil.
