Then glued three 1"x1"x2" blocks evenly around the underside of the half that doesn't open and used 1-1/2" screws to screw through the blocks into the top lip to secure it.
That way when they dump the oil in all they have to do is flip open the one half and dump it in. I just asked them to keep the lid closed when they're done.
(The easier you make it for them the better chance you have of getting the oil).
To remove the oil I use a 2" gas pump bushed down for a 1" hose It will even pump the thick cold oil in the winter. No fuss no mess just throw the suction hose in and start the pump. I pump into a tank in the back of the Powerstroke.
