Yeah....but those cost money, and take up space to store them....and I like going under the car to inspect things anyways.
My oil change setup consists of a funnel ($1.50 at autozone), a white 16qt rubbermaid tub from the discount store $3.....and a 13mm socket + extension.  Nice and cheap.
I pour the oil from the tub into the empty jugs using the funnel.....I then use brake cleaner and a rag to clean the funnel off, and use it to pour the new oil into the engine. I then wipe the oil off it with a rag, and put everything away. Including drip-time I usually do the entire procedure in 20-30 mins. With about 15-20 of that being time where I leave it to drip.
