So it was time for an oil change pulled the plug and while the oil was draining I went to get my oil and filter out of a cabinet and realized I was short two quarts of oil. So off too Walmart I go while there I happened to notice what they call a DEF Funnel I thinking that looks like just the thing doe the oil filter, for $1.63 what did I have to lose.

I got it home and it was a little tight getting it up there so I trimmed some off with a hacksaw. It's not perfect but it waked pretty good still got a little oil on the steering rack but just a little. I loosened the filter enough to turn by hand slid the funnel in and directed the filter oil into the drain pan.

So now I have a new tool.

Two quarts low going in is way better than two quarts low coming out! ;)
