ABSTRACT:
A portable, vented container for dirty oil, of the type having a small fill spout and having increased utility when used in conjunction with a funnel. A vent closure member and a funnel securing latch are integral with the funnel so that when the funnel is inverted and positioned in surmounting relation to the container, the vent closure member closes the vent and the securing latch is engaged by a fill spout cap which engagement secures the funnel against movement and hence maintains the vent closure as well. Removal of the fill spout cap releases the funnel, and positioning the funnel into its operative position relative to an automotive oil drain plug separates the vent closure portion of the funnel from the vent. An elongate extension member having a flexible medial portion is further provided.
