Continue the pattern:
1. Fill 15 from 28
2. Fill 13 from 15
3. Empty 13 into 28
4. Empty 15 into 13
Reducing the amout of oil in the 28 liter container by 2 liters each cycle. After several more cycles of the pattern, after step 2 you will have 1 liter in the 28 L container, 14 liters in the 15 liter container, and a full 13 liter container. Then when you perform the last iteration of step 3, you will have the desired 14, 14, 0 configuration.
