Need your engine oil changed?
Or to top up the oil? Or do the oil change?
If you don't have a funnel handy, you'll put it everywhere...
Fortunately, there is a simple and effective trick to pour oil into your engine without getting it everywhere and saving time.
The mechanic's trick is to use the level gauge so that the liquid flows easily into the tank . Watch:
- engine oil
- level gauge
1. Unscrew the level gauge.
2. Put the dipstick in the hole of the engine oil tank.
3. Stick the neck of the engine oil well on the dipstick.
4. Start pouring oil on the dipstick.
5. The oil flows directly onto the dipstick without getting everywhere.
There you go, you have successfully poured the oil into your engine without a funnel :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
It's still better than putting it all over the garage!
Especially since afterwards it's a hassle to clean the oil on the floor.
Since the dipstick is always in the car, you are sure to always have an oil pouring system at hand.
This trick uses fluid dynamics to be able to pour engine oil without getting it everywhere.
It is very important to stick the container against the dipstick so that it works well and that the liquid flows on the dipstick.
