When topping up the oil I always seem to spill quite a lot all over the engine . Is there a knack to doing it, Have you devised a way to do it cleanly , or a piece of equipment that realy makes it simple. I've tried funnels, rolled up paper , small tin can all sorts without any success .?
I use a length of hose pipe into the filler neck and a funnel up on the engine lid .they are both attached and pour it in . Maybe a little slow but never get any oil over the engine....
Squirty Water bottle for me as well Don't buy any more plastic than is needed! I believe a 500ml bottle takes you from minimum on the dipstick to full - standard 1600cc engines
These are ok but I thought I could keep oil in it ready for when I needed it - cue oil all over the contents under the bed
500ml plastic coke bottle or similar that's not full right to the top as it fits in the engine bay easily . Pour slowly and you don't drop any then . Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk
Gearbox oil bottle as said pull out spout poke in filler neck turn upside down n squirt required amount and turn up right way and remove. Keep between battery and rear light for emergency’s ( full one that is ) .
Noooo. Whenever I go on a long trip I need at least 4 litres. It has to be in two separate 2 litre bottles to fit under the seat, and I have these each in a double plastic bag.
Steady pouring from a plastic jug from pound shop, careful in high winds tho! And 500ml does min to max in my 2l as well.
I got this handy ol' bottle for topping up in the road, still manage to dribble a bit when it's over half full tho.got a little funnel to use in combo-mode! Sent from my EML-L29 using Tapatalk
excellent I'll stash a couple there then, freeing up some valuable inside storage space, which is at a premium in my bus
