Just got Greg's drip-free oil filter funnel for christmas. Havent used it yet but test fit it and looks like its going to be a great handy item for oil changes... I have been looking at it for a long time and never bought it- If you dont have one, i highly recommend it. It fits just right and basically snaps into place behind the filter - cant wait to give it a try.  | ||

Good post, didn't know anyone had anything for this. I usually just tear a plastic shopping bag in half and tie the ends around the engine behind the filter. This will be less of a hassle. | ||

ya, im always making something to drain the oil but this looks like it will work perfect. | ||

Marc, will it work for the XL motor? They say "current model Sportster", the current is a bit different that our old tubers. | ||

I always just cut a 1 or 2 liter pepsi bottle in half. Works just as good and is free!!! | ||

I let mine pour all over and then just blast it with brakleen. | ||

+1 Preybird! A similarly modified soda bottle also works well for draining the primary fluid. But I use Dr Pepper. It's a West Coast thing. | ||

I use aluminum foil instead. It conforms anyway ya need it too, and when you're done, crumple it up and throw it away. No cleaning neccassary | ||

$26 for a cheap plastic 'semi-funnel' that you can make for free out of an empty plastic soda bottle? Let me think about this for a femtosecond...Ok, yeah, think I'll pass. | ||

I use a bit of plastic guttering with a notch cut in the end for the oil switch. Does the job. | ||

I got one for about half that price - swap meet or maybe fleabay. Came with a length of tubing to extend the drain end to a can or tray, plus a "special" punch to poke the filter to allow it to drain before removal. (a 16d nail! pretty special, there!) Tray works like a champ. I haven't been able to get the soda bottle trick to work without making a mess. Being a pro woodworker, I'm betting I can find another "punch" somewhere around the shop if I ever lose that one they supplied with the kit. | ||

Harley has sold them for years. Got mine cheap online for 10 bucks. Has the hose on the end for draining. Works great! |
