Container to add engine oil

[RayHutch]

Given the angle of the engine oil filler neck, what does everyone use to put oil in without it going everywhere ?

Normally pence from your local auto factors

High I use Just Kampers Flexi Neck Oil Jug priced at £7.95, found it o.k.

Thanks, looks just the job.

quick tip- things like windscreen washer fluid often come in 2.5L jugs. wash one out, dry it- then you don't have to faff around with the dipstick, you just fill your washer fluid jug with oil, pour it into the engine- engine has perfect amount of oil. I know it's a silly thing, but if you change your oil every six weeks like I have to, you want it to be as easy as possible

I like that idea, i use a 500ml water bottle, next time i am going to use the Volvic 1ltr with the squirty top and see if that works

I use a food squirty bottle like chefs use for sauces. Cheap and easy

I use a gearbox oil plastic bottle with tube. No drips and easy to store.

Well it's every 300 miles, isn't it?




Nah, just kidding. I do about 30K a year, so at every 3000 miles... about six weeks.

I cut off the top one third of a plastic drinks bottle, at an angle and use that as a funnel.

This works well along with a 1 litre oil bottle or similar plastic.

I use one of those disposable sports bottles (e.g. Lucozade) that has a suction nozzle so I can hold it upside and the oil won't come out unless I squeeze the bottle. Very handy especially in it's small size, though this does mean several refills.

Tesco sell their own brand fresh soup in a plastic container and it has a nice little pouring spout. Fits perfectly in the engine bay and pours great. Plus you get a free meal with it

Yep fill these up 2 and a half times
Poke tube down the filler hole
And squeeze perfect no spillage
That's what I do

Ditto,, I use these because you can leave the little pipe pulled out and still screw it`s little cap back on to keep the oil clean, it also don`t drip and it`s a good ergonomic type shape for pouring and squeezing too if you like that sort of thing :roll: two of them will fit in between the battery and the wheel arch. I only ever use one for topping up and the other is for emergency emergencies. Bonus is they is free when you change your box oil and we do like free good stuff

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, It works, it`s great,, it`s free,, what`s not to like??? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
