A flow control device (10) for selectively controlling a flow of a fluid, including a high-viscosity fluid, such as, for example, engine oil, from a relatively large capacity container, such as, for example, a five quart container, wherein the device (10) has a lower port configuration operable to substantially reduce glugging effects, thereby allowing for a maximized rate of fluid transfer through a relatively narrow exit opening (42). The device (10) broadly comprises an adapter (12); a body (14); and a cover (16). The body (14) and cover (16) cooperate to provide fully selectable control over the flow. The fluid flows through ports (36) in either the body (14) or the cover (16), which are movable relative to one another so as to selectively control exposure of the ports (36) to the fluid. Thus, for example, in a first extreme position, the ports (36) are completely blocked and no fluid flows; while in a second extreme position, the ports (36) are completely unblocked and the fluid flows at a maximum rate.
