Need a glass type container to storage oil idea ?

I think the narrow-mouth Nalgene is the way to go. Most, maybe all, have an oz. and ml. scale printed on the side. You can also get them in a harder transparent material.

The High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Nalgene bottle I suggested is impervious to gasoline and petroleum products. It is the same polymer material that gas cans and gas tanks are made from. The transparent Nalgene bottle are polycarbonate plastic (AKA, Lexan) which may not be 100% compatible with motor oil additives.

A decent plastic storage bag sealed if it happens to leak? That is all I have for a quart laying on its side under trunk floor of Pilot.

I love mason jars but I would stay away from them for this - we have no idea if the lids are petrochemical tollerant. If you find out though - let me know.

I always keep silicone tape around - emergency hose patch. Get some - wrap around the lid. Throw the rest in the car for an emergency:

Also known as rescue tape:

I remember buying recycled motor oil for 25 cents a quart. The oil was packaged in glass bottles similar to this one:

Lately I been buying engine oil on 12qt box . I usually carry a qt extra back of my trunk . But the cap on the bottle is getting loose . I was thinking some mason jar lol . Clear to see though and look cool . Any idea ? I need a glass type container that hold about a qt of oil with strong cap that not loose over time .

That would be a $6/quart of QSFS in the mower and use that bottle

How about one of these? From back when high wax oil vs low wax actually made a difference.

Hey... if gas is ok in a bag, oil will be fine too:

This is a heavy duty glass bottle I use for oil jug leftovers, but not when I'm driving.

Used plastic soda bottle. I like them because they don't leak.

If it has to be glass because it's inert and whatnot, then I'd suggest Schott Duran polymer-coated borosilicate lab bottles. I love those things. Here's one of mine that I bought used. Although pretty old, it was not cheap. Don't check the current price. You might hurt yourself.
