Just this morning I was changing the oil on my '87 for the first
time. It has been some years since I had my '86 & I had forgotten
what a pain in the butt that filler neck can be.
I took a standard plastic oil bottle (the spout on the side of the
bottle), cut the side off opposite of the spout and used that as a
long funnel. It worked great, I wiped it out and put it in a ziplock
bag when I was done.
