Yes the problem on the GT3 is the decklid. The straight speedyfunnel would hit the decklid before it's "bowl" is at an angle that you could pour oil in. Our problems would be solved if you could just remove the decklid every time you filled the oil LOL.
I haven't built my funnel yet...my GT3 is at the shop with the engine out right now after I blew a coolant hose at the track...replacing all of them...and adding many "while you are in there" preventive repairs.
Well, deckled off would help, but I still think oil chokes up in the filler tube.
My wide-bottomed funnel jams nicely into the deckled, but filling too fast causes oil to come out of the filler tube.
Screwing on a cap with two tubes (one vent and one fill with a funnel) would either eliminate the issue or, at the least, move it outside of the engine compartment.
OK guys so I finally finished my beta test version of the "Oil Bong". I have not tested it yet...will at the next oil change...but it seems like it will work.
I think that will work great. It may be slow due to the hose size, but so what! That's what a comfy chair and mug are for.
Thanks, It can't be any slower than pouring into the nearly horizontal factory fill tube! IMO this is the rate limiting step regardless of the funnel used.
GLug Glug.
Love this "rube goldberg" solution.

Now if I could only remember where I got it - a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
I have a brain that retains useless facts and I am pretty sure this funnel has the same shape as a shewee. I don’t know if it will work size wise, but if so I am sure the folks at shewee will be happy to hear about the untapped GT3 market
