    Are you tired of trying to use big bulky oil funnels designed primarily for filling automatic transmissions when you change your engine oil? These old style tall transmission oil funnels are not well suited for engine oil changes. They are large and bulky to use, and they can collect a lot of debris sticking to the oil film between uses. Furthermore, the tall oil funnels are hard to clean.

    Out of frustration, I had resorted to opening the oil bottles and trying to hold my thumb over the spout and quickly invert the bottle and pull my thumb out of the way as I jab it into the oil filler neck. Needless to say, I have had to do a few messy cleanups.

    Introducing The EZ Fill oil funnel!

    I have designed a custom oil filler funnel that solves all these problems.

    Features:

    Compact design that can fit into the tight spaces around modern automotive oil filler necks

    It is custom fit to hold standard oil containers as they drain into the engine.

    It has a build in graduated measuring sight line on the side for adding partial quarts.

    and it includes a custom fit cover to keep out dust and debris between uses.

    Order today, and I will send you not one, but two EZ Fill oil funnels. Share one with a friend. They make thoughtful gifts.

    Do you think I can make it to Jay Leno's "Things we found on eBay"? SOLD or NOT SOLD!

    Try it and see.
    Will it be available for people who use 4 litre and 5 litre oil bottles?

    I use the top 1/3 of a 2 litre coke bottle.

    Impressive! You should have 'Patented' this first.....

    I'm sure people will pay over MSRP if you marketing it with a free Quart of Premium Motor Oil as a bundle deal.
