Oil case with Velcro for $6 at the dealer

Check out this oil case that holds 1 quart, comes with 1 disposable funnel and gloves for only 6 bones at the dealer. I bought the last one from the Santa Monica dealership and they took it right from the display case.

nice novelty item. i have a roadside kit in my trunk so I usually keep a spare quart of oil in there.

I might need to carry a gallon now that i have a major oil leak.

So it can stick to the interior sidewall and not slide around while driving

A quart of oil in a ziplock bag fits just fine under the trunk floor. Then again, $6 doesn't exactly break the bank, so...good kill?

4 bucks for a box of ziplocks or a nicely made 6 dollar case that sticks to the sidewallls with BMW embroider on it?

I went with the latter of the two.

It sticks surprisingly well. I always have mine stuck to the side of my trunk with oil in it. Even stays there during autocross.

Nice find...so this included a quart of oil as well, or it's just the case for the oil? If it includes the oil, that's a great deal since a quart of oil alone is that much.

This is a cool item....I'm so sick of hearing my bottles sliding around in my trunk.
I hope dealer near me has this.

It's a "bring your own oil" party.

Nothing special, but it gets the job done. I'll try to snap a pic at lunch.
