Oil Funnels--Anyone Try This?

[CarbonSteel]

My funnel cracked today and I tripped over this one. Has anyone tried this one?
I have to admit I like the idea of not having to balance the funnel and a jug of oil.

Very nice, but my cheap $1.50 Walmart special still works, after 25 years of use, for all my cars, and trucks. I would like the one you have listed, but it would be specific, only for my Jeep. Then I would have to get one for the truck, and the wife's Toyota. In the end, it would cost me about $50 in funnels, when my old one still works. .

pretty cool, I have one funnel that is the one that works for everything. wide mouth, low center, weighs enough so the wind or a tip of the vehicle will not tip it.

I like the idea, but don't like that it does not work on 2 of 4 vehicles....so no.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I don't have balance the funnel with one hand. I just use a plastic funnel and let it sit at whatever angle it likes.

Same, except I learned a lesson a few years back that I have not forgotten concerning allowing a funnel to sit where it wanted to

Nice! Time for my cheap ass to find an pre owned oil cap, some JB Weld, a funnel; and make one.

I just did the first oil change last weekend and was thinking I should buy another oil cap, drill it out and epoxy a funnel to it to do exactly what the funnel you posted does.

I have one of their funnels for my VW, I will get one for the Jeep once the free oil changes are done.

Several techs at work purchased the "set" off the tool truck. (Marco/Snap On / etc)
4-5 adapters fit most vehicles...
Weren't cheap though... Probably not worth the expense for only one vehicle.... They are used daily

Thanks CarbonSteel! This and my Stahibus oil drain valve will make oil changes quick and spill-free! With the Stahibus valve, I just drain the oil directly into the previous 5qt oil jug and drop it off where I bought my oil, then save the new empty 5qt jug for the next oil change.

I use similar funnels. One is specific for my Escalade and one is specific for my MX-5. They do not have one specific for my VM Motori 3.0L diesel so I got the generic funnel below:

I wish I had purchased the above funnel first because it works on almost everything, including the diesel and it holds itself in place while I pour.

Wow, talk about over engineering a funnel.

Be cool if you had a service garage and did a lot of changes on a lot of different vehicles though

That's true. But, most large shops get their oil in bulk, and pump it straight into your vehicle. Then again, some dont. .
