MOTO-QUIP FLEX N FILL FUNNEL
You service your vehicle at least once
a year or every few thousand
kilometres, but on that last trip,
your vehicle worked especially
hard to pull your Bush Lapa
Baobab through the soft sand
in Botswana. A check engine
oil message comes up on
your information display.
You don’t have to mess oil
all over the place, because
this flexible funnel has you
covered – and has a great
little mesh filter inside the
cup to keep dirt out.

Makeshift funnels from
old Coke bottles work
just fine, but the extra
length on this spout
means you can reach
the oil cap easily,
and not spill
those precious
yellow drops.Pulling power
