Default engine oil fill tube (assist) FYI

So today I read my owners manual and figured out that there is a engine oil fill tube assist that you pull out to top off your oil. Well, mine was destroyed after 23 years of service... Too bad most of the broken off plastic pieces ended up inside of the oil filler. I vacuumed as much as I could out, but fear that some of the plastic pieces ended up inside . I searched for a replacement part and I'm happy to say that it is new and improved part; it now has a strainer on one end.

hope this helps someone out there to not make my mistake. Who new that there was and oil filler assist gadget.
Disclaimer: I'm not in any way shape or form associated with Pelican parts, nor encourage people to buy from said company.

I got rid of mine. I made more messes with it than it prevented.
