Abstract: A disposable container for liquids having a remotely cleavable seal allowing the liquids to be poured into an inlet spout, such as an oil inlet for an engine, without spilling. The container having a shell, a spout with a mouth defined by the container at its top from which liquid therein is poured, a membrane sealing the mouth, a membrane cap threadably attached to the spout to protect the membrane, a method for cleaving the seal, consisting of a rod internal to the shell and attached to the membrane at one end and to a vent cap at the other end which is threadably attached to a vent defined by the container at its bottom, remote from the seal and recessed from the load bearing surface to prevent inadvertent rupture of the seal. In use, the membrane cap is removed and the pouring spout is inserted into an inlet opening, the vent cap is twisted causing the attached internal rod to twist, rupturing the membrane seal, and also opening an air vent allowing the liquid to pour smoothly out of the container.
