Oil fill question

We have a 2015 Winnebago Vista. Will be changing the oil soon. Refill always seems to be a problem since the filler neck is so close to the top of the opening. I typically buy the 5qt oil jugs and can't seem to get them to match the opening with out spilling. Have tried different funnels even bought some different watering cans etc with out much success. It's hard to hold the big container and the funnel. Any ideas/suggestions??

    If you have a place to store it, a Gear Oil Pump that goes on a 5 gallon bucket would be my suggestion. You will have to find a 5 Gallon bucket and put more oil in the bucket than you need to get the required amount in the engine, maybe an additional quart or two.

    Decant to a smaller container. Buy a oil pump. Build a fill jig from PVC and a funnel secured with rope.

    After my 1st oil change, I switched back to 1qt jugs. They're much more manageable.
