NC oil drain mess saver

Well made...installs easily...works as intended. What more could you ask for?

Installation was so easy. Works beautifully.

My first oil change with the funnel in place. First I opened the Fumoto valve on the oil pan and drained that (left it draining while I got lunch, so the sump was EMPTY when I closed the Fumoto valve and moved the catch pan under the FM funnel. I then loosened the filter, and as oil ran down the filter body, the FM funnel worked as designed - it caught the oil and directed over to the catch pan, with nothing getting on the subframe. Of course the filter was still covered in oil and full of oil when the draining stopped. So I used an awl and punched a hole in the filter bottom. and let the filter drain into the funnel. I just had to wipe the funnel down when done with an oil-absorbent mat I get from New Pig. Next time, I'll just punch the hole in the filter and let it drain that way, which should mean much less mess and easier filter removal replacement. The only slight drawback to the funnel is that it mounts on top of the subframe, slightly reducing the room you have to remove the old filter and install the new filter.
Bottom line, this makes the process a little more complicated, but much cleaner and reduces the time spent.

Made it so much easier th change the oil!

Been waiting for this invention since I got my NC.
My cardboard setup can now be thrown out.
