What size bottles are being used here? Standard quart, or gallon? Is this change in the last month or so? I always buy oil by the case. I have been using Castrol dino 20/50 or Valvoline dino 10/30 since I got my van, and the bottles have always fit into the extension. It may be messy to get in there if you aren't careful and quick, but it has always fit, no need for a funnel.
