Default Drip Free Oil Funnel

http://www.ernstmfg.com/products_oilfunnel.php

If anyone is interested, if you call your order in, the shipping is only $4.80....If you order online, the shipping is $10+...The web site says nothing about calling your order in and the cheaper shipping...I'm glad I'm a cheap SOB and called to inquire about the high shipping fee.

I ordered one today over the phone....I figure that if I don't have to clean oil off of the front of the engine, it's worth the $24.....but that's only me.....

I use tin foil. Works just fine. A lot of other people make funnels out of plastic soda bottles. Either way, let us know how it works.

I have that funnel. Not exactly drip free, but very close to it. Drag also sells something very similar to the Ernst style. Saw that at my dealer after purchasing the Ernst... Could have save on the shipping!

Tin Foil works fine. I buy the heavy duty Tin Foil, and after 40-50 changes, I've pretty much got the technique down. Good item though, and I'd be interested to know if it works as advertised.

I bought it from my local dealer six months ago, used it a dozen times. made a mess a dozen times.......But, I have my bike upright on the lift when I've used it, funnel stays horizonal. I think it might just work alittle better if you were to use it while the bike was on it's side stand (kickstand).................

He's right....Can't beat free shipping.....

and from reading the directions on line, it says that the bike should be on the jiffy stand while draining/removing the filter.....
