I bought some squeeze bottles like this:
and marked OZ lines across them. I keep 2 in the bin w/ rag in a ziploc baggie.
I use my Pettit Protek-R w/ pump & hose to refill the squeeze bottles. Pretty easy setup IMO.

BTW - Doing the quarts, keeps me from having to restock on 2 stroke oil. I can fit 6-8 quarts on the floor behind the driver seats (all lined up), that means that I get 12 to 16 gas tanks before having to restock on 2 stroke oil.

Its not 100% necessary, but I don't want to be careful, nor want to spend more time than needed when fueling up. Holding the trap door open (with whatever method/tool) speeds up the process, and the oil goes where it should go.

I use the normal octane boost bottles that are clear. I have a 5, 10, & 15 oz at all times in my bin as I run E85 so most of the time I fill up when able so I am not always on empty.
You also dont need to depress the flap to get it into your tank. Thank makes a messy job messier!

It will go down the vent or vapor return holes, which either lead to the filler neck or tank itself. Either way, the oil goes where it's needed. No need to stick tools into your filler neck unless your trying to poor at a rate nearing the rate of the gas pump itself.

If you're worried about the oil getting trapped in the vent tube or something.... Just use a little gas from the nozzle right after the pump turns off. Pull the nozzle out real quick and the small amount of fuel dribbling will flush the oil out of the vent tube and into the tank.

There will probably be the smallest residual amount of oil left at the filler opening or that little "trap door". Not nearly enough to make a difference. The moment you begin to pump fuel, it will quickly wash whatever is there down into the tank.

Guys,
If you go on Amazon, they sell screw-on spouts for oil bottles. The one I got has a twist-close tip, and it allows you to just pour into the tank straight from your Idemetsu (or whatever) bottle without any devices to open the fuel filler flap.
Also, I picked up an oil bottle mount (with rubber strap) mount intended for snowmobiles and ATVs to mount in the trunk so you don't need to take an oily bottle/rags/funnel in and out of the interior. I have an alcantera center console to it was only a matter of time till that was going to get dripped on on the way to and from the bins.
I don't have my car or I'd post pics.

The only reason I prefer the method I described is that if you use the quarts with the funnel, you still have to clean up the funnel and deal with the residue or drip.
Even though it's an extra step to pre-measure and fill those bottles up, it eliminates any cleanup whatsoever at the pump.

I've seen these also at Advance Auto Parts - the screw on funnel.

I use them primarily to counter-balance my weight. I find it usually allows me to carry 0.00000001 more G in turns.
If you aren't doing this, you won't realize the true handling potential of your FD.

You can't go wrong with several of the setups in this thread, but look for the ones with the least attachments/steps at the pump and that's the way to go IMHO.
