♻️The Sherman FloTool 11849MI Dispos-Oil Recycle Jug can hold up to 12 quarts, or 3 gallons. This size is great for storing oil from a few oil changes, depending on the size of your engine. It's generally appreciated for being sturdy and practical, making it easier to take used oil to recycling centers.

However, something to be aware of, according to our research, is the cap. While some folks haven't had any problems with it if they're careful when threading it, others have pointed out that it's not the most durable. The cap's material is described as thin by some, which could lead to cracks or trouble getting it to seal properly, and that might cause leaks. In fact, one review even went as far as calling the cap 'pure junk' because it just doesn't screw on securely.

Keep in mind, this jug is really meant for holding and transporting oil waste rather than for frequent use where you'd need to open and close it a lot. If you're planning to use it for the occasional oil change, the cap should work fine if you're careful. But if you need a jug for more regular use and want something that seals better, look for one with a stronger cap made from metal or another tough material.

Even with some mixed feedback about the cap, this jug is still a popular pick because of its large capacity and fair price. Just take care with the cap to prevent any leaks.

If you need something that's both affordable and spacious, the Sherman FloTool jug might just work for you as long as you're mindful of these considerations.
