Thanks for the tip -- I also have been using a long funnel and would have
never guessed!

It appears there are a number of new list members, and it occurred to me
to pass this tip along to the new folk.

New Vanagon Folk - the oil filler tube has a telescoping inner extension
to ease the filling with oil and avoiding oil spillage. Just remove the
cap, feel around the end of the tube, insert thumb insid the tube, and
fingertips at the rim of the tube, and pull. The extension should just
slide right out into position, allowing spill free oiling. When done
oiling, just push it back in.

Good luck and many happy, trouble free miles with your new machines.
