Oil changing tip

When I change oil I open up the first plastic jug and take my time to make sure it gets in the oil fill hole and not all over the engine.:iceslolan When the first quart gets nearly in I put the neck of the bottle into the fill hole, take my "SHARP" knife and cut the bottom off the oil bottle on 3 sides, pull down the resulting flap, and use it for stabilizing my new "funnel". Then I just add the remaining oil in the modified oil container. Don't know if anyone else does this, but it sure is handy and the cut plastic bottle gets to go to the trash can with the all the rest of the oil containers. No more messy funnel in the shed/garage.:thumbsup: See pic below:
