Purchased this funnel in an attempt to reduce/eliminate the mess when removing the oil filter. I’ve used a few things (punch hole in bottom to remove most oil, aluminum foil, bendable flat funnel, etc.) that helps reduce the mess, but thought I’d give this a try.

I took a filter out of the box and seems to fit well around the filter.

I have one of those for my motorcycles. I suppose it can be used on cars too. It ‘s cleaner, but it still makes a slight mess.

I saw it advertised for a motorcycle, but appeared to be approx the correct size.

Just an excuse to buy another tool. :-)

I just shove a bunch of absorbent towel around the filter when removing it and I don't get much mess.
