Like others have said, just strap it next to the tire inflator kit. The straps extend out far enough to accommodate two bottles... I keep 1 bottle of Syntec and 1 bottle of Premix next to each other all the time.

No matter what, oil will drip down the sides after each fill up. Go to the Container Store and buy those black trunk boxes. They are plastic.

For those that don't premix, isn't the acceptable range 2 qts? If so it'd make sense to wait for the oil to get to the second dot and then throw in a full qt...

how do you get 3 bottles in the center thing? I can get 1 and the paper towel roll. The one bottle takes up almost all the space.

why do you need 3 anyway?

That's what I do, no oil mess. Can put another quart of oil to the right of the engine bay, on drivers side, way back
and no going to the trunk when its time to add oil, hey I am a member of the BOLMFs
brotherhood of the lazy MF

Also looks cool, much better than in the trunk


Note that there's a wally world almost every town, so one can buy a quart so easy, so why carry oil in the first place? Good excuse to check that town's chicks out.
