Is there a particular kit you buy off fcpeuro? Or do you buy each component individually to customize your oil change...
keep in mind you don't have to buy a kit. I buy the 5L jugs since it's a better value and keep it on the shelf. When it's empty, I store it. Next oil change, when I drain the oil I'll pour it into the jug. When it's full, send it back. At most you have 2 empty jugs or 1 half full waiting for the next oil change.

Just make sure you wrap it in a garbage bag or something in case it leaks a little bit.

Great advice, thanks.
