Here's what I've done in a pinch to make a funnel for engine oil:

1.    rolled up a sheath of shiny coloured advert-flyers in to a funnel, use
it and throw it away,
2.    cut the bottom out of a plastic pop bottle etc.

BTW, if you have to periodically add coolant, and you need a funnel to add
it - carefully pour it from the jug into a used clean 1 or 2 litre pop
bottle, and use that - works great.

It's also handy to have one filled up with coolant for roadside top-ups.

Don't need that now tho - thanks to kind gents Chuck Hill and Darrell
Boehler - they helped me with an engine swap.
