I found that the neck on a quart oil bottle just fits the generator oil fill/check hole. If you are quick, you can slip a bottle in the fill hole and not spill a drop. The bottle's neck seals well enough that oil doesn't dribble out while the bottle is draining.
It takes 1.6 quarts, so after I put in one full quart, I poured 0.6 quarts (19 ounces) into the bottle I just emptied and tipped it in. I didn't spill a drop and it was up to the top mark.
Of course, if you slip, you will have a big mess.
Alternatively, you could cut the bottom out of an empty bottle and use it for a funnel. It fits the oil fill hole better that any funnel I have. I tried using several different funnels and I made a mess. The oil is slow to drain away from the fill hole so it backs up and runs out. With the bottle jambed into the hole, it just stays in the bottle until it flows away into the generator.
