Putting Oil in !

[Grazy]

OK so maybe I am being stoopid , but I do find it a real pain to get oil into the filler pipe of my engine , Particuarlly as i use morris oil in a square can with no extendable neck . Any tips / trick you guys use to help me not loose half a litre in my engine bay each time I put oil in :?:

i use a cheap plastic container from a motor factors, has an angled spoute, and a kinda 90 degree top,if that make some kinda sense

otherwise use a small funnel :wink:

I've got a funnel with a flexible screw-on tube on the end from a shop in newquay. Then use a small 1 litre can to fill up with as anything bigger tends to send oil everywhere.

It works dude...you know I have no problem filling my bus with oil :shock:

GSF have a oil jug with an expandable hose which works really well.

The best thing about it is that it has a screw cap on the top and a screw cap on the hose. I can fill it up from the Morris can and tighten up both caps and keep it in the van.

It has really saved me throwing oil all over the engine. :wink:

I use an old skool half pint tin jug, with a proper spout that fits right inside the stock filler. Never use one of those spun alloy aftermarket fillers with the breather, they make it a 100 time harder.

The plastic spouted bottle that EP90 axle oil is quite good - i usually spill it when filling the bottle but not in the engine bay. having said that, I just ordered a spouty jug from JK....
