I noticed that mine was split shortly after buying the car. So I pulled it out and flung it in the trash. Been using a funnel ever since.

Although mine was intact, the end screen in the pic above was not present.

Well good thing you 993 guys have an oil filter on the supply side of the motor in addition to the one on the return side.

I never knew that thing was even there...I pulled mine out today and trashed it...thank you for letting us know...

I pulled them on all shortly after purchase, and save them for the next guy.

Just checked mine and it still looks like new. I like it because I am a klutz and without it I would probably spill oil everywhere and I'm not about to carry around a oily funnel in my car. I will just check it every time I check the oil (every other fuel fill up).

Wow, This is something I have never seen before! I will add it to my list of things to look for for new to 993 owners.
Thank you for posting this.

Mine's long gone...

Mine too, was that way when I bought the car, thankfully.

Not sure about elsewhere but in the PNW you can get paper funnels at any Chevron station if you ask.

Checked mine tonight and nothing there. Previous owner likely trashed it when it started to fall apart.

I will say thats a pretty tight spot it collapses into. Does a new one stay put when you remove the oil filler cap or does it tend to extend outward on its own once the oil fill cap is removed?

I used mine once to add oil and since it was split at several of the coils, guess where the oil went! Now use a funnel that I keep in a ziplock bag along with a spare quart and a shop rag.

You might want to rethink that....there are ways to deal with that funnel (if you really have to haul it around all the time). Just sayin'.
