When I told her I was spending $15 for an oil change tool she went into her typical diatribe about buying stuff you don't need or hardly use argument. The tide turned when I said it eliminated her participation and now the funnel purchase became an excellent idea. Gotta love her!
Last month's OC total cost was phenomenally cheap:
PUP 1qt 0w20 -$3 + PUP 5qt jug 5w20 -$5 (rebate) + FU XG9972 $10. When I mentioned to her it was $18, the Toyota dealer quoted $70 and the savings, I initially got was ‘crickets' and then a ‘OK'. Gotta love her!
For me, doing an OC has the following order of personal importance: time, satisfaction (it is was done correctly), BITOG OC smack, scoring rebates, managing a rebated stock of oil and overall oil change cost savings. Despite her!
Otherwise, I would get it done at the dealer/indy like the majority of the population.
I'm gonna try that approach! My Cad is easy with the Big Mouth Funnel from FloTool so I dont need a special design. However the Odyssey has the 45 deg angle filler behind the radiator and the Honda funnel from OEMTools (see pic) should work well. Looking forward to the "spending money on seldom-used stuff" argument! LOL
