Engine Oil Funnel/Adapter Kits

[Chuck FB]

I had bought a 2025 model HD with the L8T gas engine and found that any normal funnel I had or could buy didn't begin to work with that slanted angle of the fill port in the valve cover. While I assume that topic has come up on this forum, searches I tried came up with nothing for remedies/ideas so hopefully I am not repeating the same topic over again. Searching around online I came across various funnel kits that have adapters to go into the oil filler port as well as some have an elbow adapter to contend with the poorly designed fill port on the L8T gas engine. Being in Canada its harder to source the vast options there seem to be in the states so I ordered a kit made by Lisle through a local supplier and its model number is 19912.  I have not used it yet to pour oil through so that is an unknown yet but did fit it up to the trucks fill port with the correct adapter ( the adapter is black and says GM/FORD ) and used the supplied elbow to get the correct angle of the funnel and then slipped the funnel into place. It appears as though it should work good, it brings the top of the funnel to just above that coolant line that runs across the engine bay. The funnel says its made in the USA and has a top cover as well as a bottom cover so it can be closed up and stored away and in theory not have to be cleaned out from fresh oil residue each time, throwing the unit into a clean plastic bag will help that out too.

So ironically I accidentally came across a cheap alternative that Princess Auto had on a surplus clearance sale ( I bought it April 22, 2025 ) and I will post the link but no doubt it will go dead after the sale is over and it took them quite a while in the store to actually find it as it was stuffed away on a shelf where they put random clearance items, it was no where near the isle with the funnels. Its made in Taiwan and has the brand name Powerbuilt  on it and while it does not have the same quality as the Lisle tool unit, its a cheap alternative at the moment with it being on sale for 20.00 as the Lisle kit is many times that price. It also has the elbow adapter and I fit it up with its GM/Ford adapter and it sits up probably a couple of inches higher than the Lisle unit which is fine and it has a lid of sorts and a cap for the bottom outlet as well. It happens to be built with a course screen in the bottom of the funnel which could be ok if something was accidentally dropped into the funnel such as the foil seal to a bottle. I'll just keep the unit and pack it in the truck if I am on a trip, will make adding oil even possible.
