I bought one of those giant size funnels for tipping the entire jug into it. I’ll take pic next time I use it.

I love the Redline Oil quarts. They are super easy to use. The metal cans of Motul 300V 5w30 are next best.
tipping the jug sideways works for me.
Have a dedicated funnel that has the small spout
(the part that goes into the oil fill hole)
trimmed so it doesn't tip.
Quart bottles don't 'glug' if poured sideways or with
spout on the top.
My 2¢

I think I also have the Helen Keller signature model.

I will continue to use Valvoline even without the new container. I did see the new containers at my local WAlly World this past weekend.
BITOG is so funny. A couple of years ago I posted an article on bottle design and the consensus at the time was it would be nice if someone invented a jug that didn't glug - now someone has done it and everyone just says pour out the opposite way - which won't work with these bottles.
They could have easily swapped the handle so the spout would be at the top - but instead they have the special vent that will only work if you pour holding the handle. I wonder if they will translate this to the 1L bottles.

There is a lot more to this design than just the anti-glugging feature. The handle placement, the strategic placement of grip surfaces to help the person handle the jug and pour, and the visible security foul seal. In this case Valvoline didn’t put out a new jug for looks, they did it with user experience in mind.
Of course what is inside matters the most and Valvoline does not disappoint in that regard.

Sometimes I transfer the excess 1/2 qt. from a jug to an old quart bottle I have laying around, I'm guessing this will make that easier...

Here it is: The Helen Keller special. Hard to miss. ( no disrespect meant).
