Smile oil change

has anyone got experience of refilling oil on ulysse without getting it everywhere, when I take off the filler cap there is a plastic grill inside the filling tube that does not seem removable stopping me puttin a plastic funnel in.

Suggestions are appreciated


Thanks

Re: oil change

They way i normally get around this is if you cut half fizzy drink bottle in half and use that as the funnel and slightly tilit the the bottle and slowly poor in works a treat

Re: oil change

I have changed the oil numerous times and I use a large funnel which rests against the throttle housing, and take my time filling. Also I try not to do it on a windy day (change oil that is!)

Re: oil change

Ah, good tip there - I will use that next time

Car is in next Thursday for its 3 year service and MOT - not cheap
