I have one for my Honda that I've used only once. It's a neat idea but the funnel retains a lot of oil afterwards so unless you have somewhere to hang it up and drain it after use, it can be messy. There's no way to run a towel through it to clean it up.
I like a good funnel, but this is ridiculous. Why not make an oil cap adapter that screws directly onto the oil bottle? Or you could set it on fire and buy a new car instead of changing the oil.

This is easy to run a paper towel through ... its big bore compared to my other half dozen funnels
Just another part to get oily that takes up space on the shelf. I prefer to patiently pour right from the bottle cleanly into the hole without spilling.
I have one with multiple attachments for different makes. It would have been awesome to have when I wrenched for a living but now it is just a convenience.

That's the one!! Except mine was labeled MATCO and an impulse buy on the tool truck.

Maybe they forgot this
All other engines I’m dealing with are easier than this one (I bought it for) ~ surely was not short on funnels;
I have the Ray Charles funnel due to a similar situation. It fits down in the fill whole which is a good thing. If it didn't one could really make a mess putting oil into my Altima 3.5 VQ.
