Most of us with big diesels buy our oil in 5 gallon pails. Keep the
old pails and after you've done a few changes you will have no need
for 1 gallon jugs.

I like the gallon jugs, myself. Much easier to use if you ever need to
add a little oil beween changes. Also easier to get containers of waste
oil out of the engine room and off the boat with less risk of spilling
or wacking into something with a dirty oil bucket. When a friend
approaches on a cruise and says he's out of oil and needs to borrow a
gallon, it's easier to loan a gallon jug.

And, the plastic jugs make two really useful oil changing tools. If you
slice off the top of a jug just below the shoulder, you can turn the
top upside down and use it for a funnel. In engine rooms with limited
vetical clearance, that can account for a useful difference in height
when compared to a standard conical funnel. The lower portion of the
jug is now a square bucket with a handle on the side- and is exactly
the perfect size for catching a screw on oil filter and the associated
mess when it's removed.
