They're pretty much all the same. I use the Tempo "Oil Boy" and it works great. Has a 5 qt capacity, like most of them do.
What I do after I fill it is pour the first 5 qts of old oil into an empty bottle I saved from my previous change, then siphon the remaining 2 qts into the empty 5qt container from the current change, after the new oil is added to the engine.
A quirky thing I do, because I have 3 qts to spare in one container, is siphon 3 qts of transmission fluid and replace with 3 fresh. As I said, quirky, but probably cheap insurance for a well-behaving transmission.
