Both hands available

Not sure everyone has seen these … J’s up in fill spout and O-ring seal …
$20 on eBay

I have one that fits directly into the oil fill on my Suburban's 5.3. One of my favorite tools.

 

[Bottom_Feeder]

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.

 

[Starman2112]

$20 for a funnel? Mine was $1 and works just fine.

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.

It sure is.

I actually have one of these, but I never use it

This is easy to run a paper towel through ... its big bore compared to my other half dozen funnels

I use the big mouthed Prestone funnel. Only paid a couple bucks and have had it for years.

That would not seal and hold itself like the blue funnel. it’s a significant reach when the Tahoe is on ramps ... this works well

While I doubt I'd ever buy one of those myself - I just use a 1-qt motor oil bottle, cutoff 1/2 way down and turned over, as a funnel. Like this:

I can see how the filter posted by the OP could be useful, though.

$15 on Amazon Prime

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.

 

[earlyre]

umm...I just bought a cheapo stant fill cap for like $10, and drilled out the center to the OD of my funnel....

heck the current price on amazon for a stant fill cap for my engine is $4.52. they also have the OE Motorcraft one for $5.26

 

[Bud]

Neat funnel, but I am cheap, so just use my dollar funnel I bought at Walley World many years ago.

 

[Lyman]

My Jeep 4.7 has an oil fill like this. No funnel needed.

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;

 

[bbhero]

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.
