Anyone have a longer, very tiny diameter funnel they're happy with? Seems like amazon should have something but haven't found one that seems like what I want. I ruined the homemade one I've been using for years in an attempt to make more ideal. This would be mostly for Honda ATF changes through that near pencil-sized dipstick.
Funnel for very small openings? (Like Honda ATF refills)

For ATF changes on Hondas where you must fill through the dipstick tube, I use a long neck funnel with a 8" section of commensurate diameter clear Tygon PVC tubing attached to the bottom as a transition adapter.
The i.d. of the tubing must fit snugly on the o.d. of the dipstick tube to preclude leakage. It takes a long time to fill because the displaced air must simultaneously burp out as the ATF enters through the tubing, so I usually hang the funnel on the hood with a wire. For the very narrow dipstick tubes, you may need to use a small funnel and narrower Tygon tubing.
I also found this funnel listing on Amazon that might work for you; however, the narrow tip opening dimension is not identified.

You can always put a length of tubing onto the end of a funnel...

I've gotten a few of the really long skinny ones from Walmart that work perfectly.

I got some that were for a science lab. The opening is about the size of a straw.
I use the plastic part of a turkey baster to slip inside the dipstick tube, then put a long narrow funnel inside of that...not ideal but has worked very well for me over the years.

I have these in 200 & 500 - removes and replaces fluid very well …

Walmart Has a funnel that people use for DEF Fluid Amazon sells the same funnel as well. Should work

I haven't had the best luck with this.
That is the perfect size end. Looking around for something Honda specific, I'm reading my V6 Accord has a large plug that is removed to fill the trans. Wish I had known this 15 years ago when my parents bought it.
Try the Flotool 05034mi -- it's that long black funnel from the auto parts stores. I had one (mine might have been made by Blitz, but I think they are identical). It fit snugly right over the tube (dipstick?) on the Hondas I had.
The DEF I buy comes with a spout to fit into the DEF fill on my PSD. I am happy to toss everything into the trash after emptying the 2.5 gallons into my DEF tank.
A small hose clamp or some duct tape works wonders.

I use these for differential and transmission refill.

Can buy different sizes at H.D. and Lowes . Just bought some for A.T.F. fluid change to attach to a long neck funnel to reach the fill hole of the FIT .
