I use a clean 5 gallon water jug with the top cut off. I cut it so that I
could get my jug under the car with a ramp and still be able to access the
drain plug. I hope that Ford has a drain plug; I hear that some of the US
and Japanese cars you have to pull the whole pan. By the way, I have found
the top to be useful as a funnel when inverted so the fluid doesn't splash
as much because the shoulder of the top is curved. The top has a 2" or so
opening and there is no issue with backups from a constricted funnel.
