    A empty windshield washer fluid bottle cut in half makes a great funnel. Why this particular bottle? Because it screws into the oil fill neck. So no you can dump that 5 quart jug of Mobil1 0W20 oil into your engine plus a few more quarts without the waiting and pouring or the funnel falling out.#@#@$$#@@

    I'm going to cut a hole in my skid plate and weld a hinge in it for this one. I always said I was going to do it to the sequoia but never did. Whoever the asshat was that came up with this system needs kicked in the balls. The 4.0 tacoma has a spin on filter in front of god and everyone right on top.

    Nice! That will work much better than my Prestone radiator funnel that I use. Good looking out! I also use a milk jug with a portion cut out to act as a splash guard when I drain the oil. Bottom cut out of the milk jug and part of the side holding it upside down by the handle. When I would first drain the oil it would hit my drain pan and splash. This helps me.

    And save the lid. Put it back on when you’re done and you stop your funnel from dripping.

    Works!

    Finished topping off the wiper fluid with Prestone Bug.

    Tried your idea and the threads line up pretty good. Snug enough to feel confident on pouring oil from a 5 qt. jug into the redneck Prestone cut off jug. Thanks!
