I have used gas cans for diesel for years... it's not right, but it works. the thing about changing oil is you need to change the copper washer on the drain plug, and there is a large o-ring on the oil filter canister top, and two very small o-rings on the oil filter shaft. get the small o-rings ahead of time. some filter brands have the crush washers with the filter, some don't. check the box before you drain the oil. the large o-ring has come with every filter I have ever bought.
