Oil Fill Tube

I have the same thoughts.  I've not changed the oil on this truck but using an appropriate funnel would be the first option that came to my mind.  I have a long neck angled funnel that I use on my motorcycle that I think would be perfect for the task!  The fill tube modification looks like a great option for those who regularly service their own vehicles.

Agree, the tube seems like it's the cat's ass but I have to have it sealed extremely well at the valve cover from dust and dirt etc.  I don't see why this would not work with proper cover and fittings not for me though.....

This funnel works perfect and is only $12.50.

⬆️ I like that funnel cause when I get to old to drive and the wife sends me to a home I can use it as a ear trumpet!

Have any of you tried a funnel like this?

Yes,  I use it. Fits my 2002 and our 2016 Suburban.  Works great and also fits some Fords as well.

.. here's another option for fill tube extensions.. I chose mine specifically to clear my catch can hoses but it is much easier to access/fill then stock location..

.. details can be found in catch can post..

I bought this one off of Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GV8O8OO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It does not come with the O-ring but they are easy to get. It fits perfectly and looks like the one being used on the new 2019's.

I will add that I used to have a funnel with an accordion flex nozzle and a handle on the back. I would hang the handle on my driver's side fender brace bar and it made oil dumps easy.

I have that one at work.  It works but it points the filler end straight at the master cylinder and it's still tough to get the oil in if you use a big jug like we do at work, so I put a transmission funnel in it also.   single quarts might be ok though 

[CadillacLuke24]

Something I've found that works is the GIGANTIC funnel Walmart has for the 5 quart bottles. Added benefit is it is big enough to where I can hold it against one of the cross braces and that keeps it really stable.

Has anyone found the part number for the 2019 oil filler tube?
