Containment vessel for filling, storing and dispensing motor oil and similar fluids

Abstract

The container bottle of the present invention offers improved pouring capability for dispensing motor oil and similar fluids from the container into an automotive engine or other equipment by controlling liquid outflow sufficiently for the average end user to avoid unintended content spillage and thereby avoid the need for the use of a funnel for pouring assistance. The design of the present invention includes an integral barrier and flow channel while remaining economically in line with present day containers.
