Oil Funnel--Anyone Try This?

[CarbonSteel]

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

Especially with those baffles right below the filler hole, seems like a no brainer.

I have a green one like that for the LS engine in my Suburban. Love it.

I don't have that exact one, but have an AST for nearly everything i work on... love them... saves a bunch of mess and waiting...

I have a similar one for my VW. Love it. Was annoyed to pay $15 or $20 (can't remember) for it, though. A splurge for DIY changes, but saves so much hassle.

The cool people don't need ant stinking funnels. That said it is an interesting product.

Did I mention those dang baffles? Oh yeah I did. They render a conventional funnel useless in many applications.

I have the Matco/Lisle one that has the adapters for a bunch of different cars as well as a 45 degree elbow. It works fabulous.

I got a similar one for the wife's Camry.

People seem to love 'em, but $15 (plus tax) for an oil filter? Sheesh.

I just use a $2 yellow Wallyworld oil funnel for the last 20 years. Short with a 1” opening on the lower end. it just works and best of all it’s easy to wipe out super clean. I can see the need for such things on some vehicles though.

@bdcardinal - do you have a link?

I looked it up for sale online in Canada. It's $50 , no thanks. When I do the oil change I have this funnel. Works well just need to not pour too fast to keep it from leaking.

The top of a 2 Liter pop bottle fits the oil fill hole on my Honda CR-V real nice. Weighs next to nothing and is free. I keep one next to the spare tire in a plastic grocery bag to keep it clean, and a quart of oil in several plastic grocery bags just in case it leaks.

I've got a motivx oil fill funnel that screws on to the 2.5 engine in my wife's Outback.

I do like how screwing it on makes it stable. It doesn't move when I balance an oil bottle or jug on top of it. That is a definite plus. Mine has a screen in it. It's nice to know that it will filter out any debris that could get in there if I am careless. Another plus. Mine also has a spike in the center, that can be used to puncture the seal on 1 quart oil bottles. Nice, but I almost always buy motor oil in 5 quart jugs, so I don't get to use this feature. A small plus.

I always wipe my funnels clean when done, so they don't drip. It is inconvenient to reach up into the clear portion of the funnel to clean it out. Small minus. Cost. I can't believe I spent that much for a funnel, when the other oil fill funnels I have cost a buck or two. Hard to say if the plus items justify the cost. You be the judge.

One last note. I've never bought one for my Mercedes. I guess it isn't that important to me.

Would be nice to get one of those. I wonder if they have them for the 5.7L Hemis? Probably cost a fortune to get up here though :/

I have one that style. One of my favorite funnels.
Self confessed funnel nut.

Lisle 19912 That is the latest and greatest version.

Motivx- Good funnels and good service

I have similar one from OEM Tools for my Honda. Works great but is kinda spendy.
