I bring this up once in a while because I never ceased to be amazed aat how many people don't know. Adding oil to the engine is an aggravating challenge - trying to pour oil into the filler neck at a near horizontal angle. You are guaranteed to spill some oil and make a mess unless you use a funnel. Then afterwards there is always the question of what to do with the funnel which is now coated with residual oil. The secret - the oil filler neck has an extension telescoped down inside the filler tube. Just grasp the edge of the filler tube between finger and thumb and pull and it slides right out, The rest is self evident. Pretty slick. Enjoy your cleaner rear. John Rodgers 88 GL Driver
