In Reply to: My first (DIY) oil change in 40 years..... posted by AbeCollins on May 20, 2024 at 16:07:12:
I hate to say it, but I could not resist one of those funnels. who in their right mind needs a funnel that requires assembly.
I also have a straight shot into the engine oil fill, so certainly don't need it, but I do enjoy a good tool and one less potential failure point to clean. But the pretty oil filter tool they sell was so desirable to me, that I decided to throw in one of the funnels when I pulled the trigger and bought the filter tool. .
I paid an obscene price that I will deny ever paying, I guess my honesty is less important than my pride, but even after all the time spent in indecision because of the price and lack of need, I ultimately screwed up, and forgot to get the little seal puncturing gizmo for the inside, because I was all over the site trying to assemble the parts to fit my car, which , of course, wasn't listed as fitting their product.
