What funnel do you use for oil changes? - Page 2

Huffy galvanized gooseneck funnel. I've had this thing for as long as I can remember, but it still can be found on eBay. You can bend the gooseneck to make it rest against the shock tower for hands free pouring with zero mess.

I just bought a cheap one off ebay with the slanted top.

They sell the same one at the Ace near me. Wish it was a little bigger but worked fine.

This funnel from ASSENMACHER SPECIALTY TOOLS INC. attaches directly to engine oil filler opening and includes o-rings for sealing.

That looks like a great setup.

I found them at Century Tool (centurytool.net).

I purchased from ToolSource.com

There is also this option from amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...KIKX0DER&psc=1

But you do have to modify it, if you look at the reviews of the product someone modified it(have to file it down in 1 area) to work on a Camaro.

That GM one is cool but I don't know how I feel about paying $50 for a funnel.

OneLapWonder · 06-26-2022, 05:44 PM

I Jack up the driver side front to level out the funnel.

jk, I use a basic funnel and try not to f it up.

JSH · 07-01-2022, 08:22 AM

I'm missing something here because I use a $2.00 funnel from AutoZone

Dave88LX · 10-11-2022, 10:44 AM

Jeez.

I just use a ~12" long funnel with a skinny end to get inside the smaller hole inside the goofy fill neck.

Same here. I just use a generic long-necked funnel I picked up at Advanced Auto for a couple of bucks. Works fine with no spillage when I remove it from the engine. Also has one side longer than the other so that I can set the quart motor oil containers at an angle to let them fully drain.

Never realized there were more advanced (re: complicated/pricey) options available.

I use a generic funnel

Did my first DIY oil change today and it worked fine despite the funky angle of the valve angle. I feel a thread on style funnel would cause more mess when threading it off and residual spilling.
