I'm with you....I don't wait 4-6 hours but long enough to remove the last drops. Have done that ever since I was young and dumb and my grandfather chewed me out for wasting oil. Anthony '89 Syncro GL (Hidalgo)

It always bothered me that there was still some oil in the bottle. So I use that funnel, to collect the last drop of oil. I put the bottle into the funnel and invert the bottle. Leave it that way for 4-5 hours and you'll get a lot more oil out. 6 quarts will often leave enough as 1/3 quart of oil in the bottles. I figure every drop counts.
