Abstract
A method and apparatus for transporting a new fluid from a point of origin to a destination where a used fluid and a used filter are located. The used filter and the used fluid are to be obtained and to be disposed in a container after the new fluid has been removed from the container. The apparatus comprises a container having a hollow body for containing said fluids, and a pair of apertures for pouring fluids into and from the container. The container containing a new or unspent fluid is transported from an origin or source to a destination. The new fluid is poured from the container and into an engine. The used fluid from the engine is disposed into the container, along with any associated filters from the engine, and the container containing the used filter totally immersed in the used fluid is transported to the origin or source.
