Abstract
A disposable lubricating container system including a disposable container, a carrier, a sealing unit and transfer tubes. The carrier rigidly attaches itself to an engine or other machine part and the container attaches to the carrier. The container mates with the carrier to securely hold the container while being easily removed or inserted into the carrier. The sealing unit attaches to a neck portion of the container and serves to provide a fluid transfer system for the lubricating oil or fuel/oil mixture from the container to the engine. Lubricating oil in the container is transfered to an existing oil reservoir, directly to engine components or other machine parts.
