Preventing Oil Change Overfill

Anybody have a method that easily prevents an oil change overfill when pouring new oil from a 1 gallon container, other than staring at the sight glass? Just finished installing Versy so engine has little or no oil. Thanks!

I have a 1 quart measuring cup...
I add 16oz at a time to make pouring easier...

I use one of these but I cut the tube a lot shorter. You can get them at WallyWorld or most parts stores for a few bux.

Put a 2 1/4" block or something under the side stand. Then fill up to the lower mark on the sight glass. You will have to check it again after you run it because of the filter cavity. Give it time to drain back down before checking the second time.

Get a funnel that fits in the oil fill hole.
Fill the funnel than let it drain, fill then drain, fill then drain...

I use the gallon jug of Rotella. I just pour carefully. Draining excess oil is a pain!

I use the wife's measuring cup and funnel.
I run them through the dishwasher before she gets home.

We all know what will happen the time that KennyG miss judges when Mrs. Kenny gets home and catches him using her measuring cup and funnel.... I'm cringing just thinking about it......

I guess Miss Ellen would manage to change the pitch of my voice quite a bit if she caught me.

Haha. I did the same thing with her good Pyrex measuring jug when I'm changing fork oil. She wouldn't have a clue.

A dishwasher is your friend.
I remember the first dishwasher I had many years ago and that aluminum parts coming back from the machine shop could be run through the dishwasher to get rid of all the grit and dirt from bead blasting.
