A little more than a $1.00 at most FLAPS. Fits perfect into the 3.2's filler, doesn't move or fall over, flows fast, don't even have to remove the dip stick.

Edit - My bad, you do have to remove the dip stick or it won't insert enough....

BINGO!
Lots of good suggestions; thank you, everybody, for your suggestions.

When I get motivated enough, I'm going to build a stand to hold the funnel outside the engine compartment with a plastic tube running down into the tank. I've got other uses in addition to the 911 oil change.

Brett: The real challenge will be to have it fold up into a 1" x 1" x 2" travel case!

This is the thing I saw in a store. I think it is meant to screw onto a quart and allow you to pour.

Default Funnel

AJ up above uses the same thing I use. I bought this funnel at Autozone here in CA. It works perfect for me. It's everything you want in a funnel for your 3.2
If you can't find one, email me or send an PM and I'll run out and get you one.

Yeah, I'm wrestling with just how much "engineering" to put into it. Or maybe the problem is already mostly solved with a camera tripod.

Best (Porsche) offer of the day!
More seriously - thanks, I bet I can find one on the east coast!

Default Five quart jug size is cheaper and faster

I use five quart jugs of oil and an oversized blue "Wal-Mart special" funnel. It seems to jam in there pretty good and stay upright. It's still kind of hard on the back to bend over to hold the jug as it poors out but it still seems to go pretty quickly. I too make a mess under the filter when I remove it and I just clean it up as much as I can with a flashlight when it's all done.
