This method works with any such problem, as long as the two buckets' liter-capacities (or gallon capacities, etc.) have no common factors, or else the common factors are also factors of the amount you're trying to measure. Fill the 7-liter bucket, and empty 5 liters of it into the 5-liter bucket; then dump out the 5 liters. Two liters will remain in the 7-liter bucket; transfer them to the 5-liter bucket. Fill the 7-liter bucket again, and empty enough of the bucket into the 5-liter bucket to fill it. That should only be 3 liters transfered, leaving 4 liters left in the 7-liter bucket. QED.
1)Transfer 7 liters from the 12-liter jar into the 7-liter jar.We now have 5 liters in the 12-liter jar and 7 liters in the 7-liter jar. The 5-liter jar is empty, as of now.2)Transfer 5 liters from the 7-liter jar into the 5-liter jar.The 12-liter, 7-liter, 5-liter jars now contain 5, 2 and 5 liters respectively.3)Empty the contents of the 5-liter jar into the 12-liter jar.The 12, 7, 5- liter jars now contain 10, 2 and 0 liters respectively.4)From the 7-liter jar, take out 5 liters and pour 7 liters from the 12-liter jar into the 7-liter jar.We now have 3 liters in the 12-liter jar and 7 in the 7-liter one, while the 5-liter jar has only two liters in it.5)Fill up the remainder of the 5-liter jar using the 7-liter jar.That leaves us with 3 liters on the 12-liter jar and 4 liters in the 7-liter jar. The 5-liter jar is full.6)Pour the contents of the 5-liter jar into the 12-liter jar.There are 8 liters in the 12-liter jar and 4 liters in the 7-liter jar, while the 5-liter jar is empty.7)Pour the 4 liters that are in the 7-liter jar into the 5-liter jar.We now have 8 liters in the 12-liter jar and 4 liters in the 5-liter jar. The 7-liter jar is empty.8)Fill the 7-liter jar using the 12-liter jar.There is now only 1 liter in the 12-liter jar and 7 liters in the 7-liter jar and 4 liters in the 5-liter jar.9)Fill up the 5-liter jar using the 7-liter jar.There is now 1 liter in the 12-liter jar and 6 liters in the 7-liter jar and 5 in the 5-liter jar.NOTE: This might not be the only way, or the shortest way to do it.

A 5-liter cup is already available for the wiper fluid when you take it to the snowplow truck to the right of the school. But you need some other way to measure the fluid. Get the Dog Dish from Rodrick's room. To measure exactly 4 liters, fill the dog dish (3 liters) then empty the dog dish into the 5 liter cup. Fill the dish (3 liters) from the bottle again and there will be 4 liters left unpoured.
