Hey Auntie,

I did the same thing as SoCalGuy. Mark the cortect line with a sharpie then you don't have to think about where to fill the cup to.

Alternatively, you could buy a set like these.
Pre-fill 'em at home with a funnel.

One bottle to a gallon of gas.
Eyeball-add whatever + gallon fraction you need.

That's my method. Basically ride gallon-to-gallon. No measuring and pouring oil at the pump.
