Oil change
Oil funnel
Pouring five quarts through a filler neck without one is how oil ends up on the exhaust manifold.
01
Where to buy
02
Why you need it
- Filler caps are rarely where the jug can tip straight in.
- A long-neck funnel reaches past hoses and wiring; a wide mouth takes the whole jug at once.
- Keep a second, dedicated funnel for coolant and one for ATF so you never cross-contaminate.
03
What to look for
- Flexible or offset spout to clear the engine cover.
- A built-in screen catches debris and the occasional foil seal.
- Several in a set, color-coded for each fluid.
