First I weigh myself on a bathroom scale, holding the empty container. I tap the oil straight from the car into the container, then I stand on the bathroom scale again holding the full container.

I now have the weight of the old oil, I calculate the volume in litres and fill up the car with the exact amout.

Super easy!

:dance:

I feel like I'm being punked here. If you're going to convert to volume anyway, why not simply measure the volume that you removed?

Haha, no Punking.. Measuring would be an extra step, pouring and dripping.. to me this is easy, clean & fast. Previously, to avoid overfilling I poured a little less than expected, waited for the oil to settle, checked level, poured, waited, checked... Now I just pour the exact amount the first time.
