Honestly seems like a waste of time and money to me. Looking for a solution to a problem I've never found existed. The funnel I've got out of Tesco for £2 ish fits the filler perfectly so holds itself there when pouring the oil. Could argue it's quicker too because you're not screwing it on and off.

Just watch, I'll probably own one within a few weeks now I've talked trash about it

Just cut the top of a 1ltr bottle of tonic water, soda water style bottle and it's exactly the same thing

The bendy bit screws on and off (and will probably get lost if my experience is anything to go by).

Ah yes I have 1 of those, good piece of kit to be honest. Think I will put another one on next shop. Although you can't pop it in the filter area without holding it.

Hope that's been cleaned well

When I get 5 mins will try a custom job. Sure I can make something.
