How to Pour Oil into the Engine Without a Funnel

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

In this video, we see an alternative method for pouring oil into the engine when you don't have a funnel handy. Simply pull up the dipstick and let the oil slide down its length.

As the YouTuber shows, it is possible to do this from below if you don't feel too confident in your ability, or you can be bold and pour it directly from above to do it faster. Among the comments on the video, some jokingly suggested not to use this method on very windy days, and that it is quite a slow method: however, we certainly do not recommend it for a full oil change, but only for topping up.
