Funnel for Oil Change
The openings for pouring in the oil is so damn small none of the funnels at Autozone works... Do you guys have any recommendations on where to buy a funnel that will fit into the opening?

Walmart has the retractable ones for like a dollar. They're real good. Plus it attached to the bottle.

In the automotive section next to the oil... the end fits directly over the oil container opening.

Are you trying to fill the oil down the dipstick tube?
Why not use that big 1½" fill hole on top of the engine? Maybe you should review your owners manual before doing any more work on your car.

If there is a possible stupid thing that you can do to a 350Z, one of us has done it. Maybe not with the 350Z, but another vehicle when we first discover the worlds most amazing tool: a wrench. In fact I think we have a thread titled
Dumb things I have done with cars.

That's the hole i was talking about... Apparently that Autozone only had the ultra big funnels and their small ones were out of stock...
Went to another autozone today and bought a small funnel.
