Lisle 17892 Transmission/Oil Drain Funnel

Little funnel i grabbed for my tiny dorm so changing oil on my old civic doesn’t turn into a crime scene in the parking lot. the size is nice and it fits under the car without drama. i just slide it under and the drain stream actually lands where it should. used it last weekend with my roommate holding a flashlight and we didn’t spill a drop on the concrete. the plastic feels sturdy enough to toss in my trunk after. kind of funny how something so simple made me weirdly glad, especially when campus security drove by and there was zero mess to yell about. great little helper.

Used it last weekend with my roommate holding a flashlight and we didn’t get a single drip on the concrete. That alone made me pretty glad i bought it 😅. When we were done, I wiped it off and tossed it in the trunk. The plastic feels sturdy enough that I’m not worried about cracking it when it bangs around with my reusable grocery bags and work stuff. My favorite moment was when our building security did a slow drive-by and there was nothing for them to complain about. No mess, no stains, no awkward lecture about “improper vehicle maintenance.” For a cheap little tool, it makes my DIY oil changes way less stressful and way less messy. Handy little thing. �

I do my car maintenance in my apartment garage, which is small and messy. This funnel at least keeps the floor from getting covered in oil. The opening is large enough to catch any splattering oil when placed over an oil tray, so even if I misjudge the angle, it won't spray everywhere 😂 The high neck guides the oil down, minimizing splashing. The plastic is thick enough but not bulky; I can just rinse it with water after use and then hang it next to my tool rack. It's quite handy for a programmer like me who does DIY car repairs on weekends.

I used it last Saturday while adding transmission fluid to my older car. I set it in place, poured at an unhurried pace, and kept the bottle close so I could watch the level. The funnel guided the fluid where I needed it, without the little drips I had been wiping off the engine area before. That made the job calmer, which is no small thing when I am working in a tight space. It feels like a straightforward tool, not something that needs instructions or a special routine. Afterward, I wiped it down and put it back with the other car supplies. I appreciate tools that do one job neatly and save me cleanup. I was glad I bought it when I finished without reaching for a pile of rags. I expect to use it again for oil changes and other fluid top-ups, and it has earned a spot on the garage shelf.

This sits behind the counter at my small auto shop, and I grabbed it so my techs stop making lakes of ATF on the floor. Took it right out of the box and stuck it under a lifted F-150 during a transmission service. It caught almost everything and kept the mess manageable, which saves me time mopping at closing 😅. The height and angle work well with our two-post lift, and the plastic feels tough enough for daily use. I do wish the neck was just a bit wider, since we still get some splash when fluid comes out too fast, so we have to slow the drain. For the price though, it earns its spot in our crowded back room. 👍

Used it last Sunday night after closing the shop, my roommate holding a shaky flashlight and asking when we’d be done. No spills on the concrete. No old oil stink on my shoes. I rinsed it, tossed it in the trunk, and it didn’t bend or feel flimsy. Campus security rolled by mid-change, slowed down, saw no puddle under the car, and just kept going. That tiny moment honestly made me glad I spent the few bucks. For me this means fewer towels to wash, no arguments with the building manager, and one less chore dragging into Monday. i don’t need fancy tools, just stuff like this that works well and doesn’t waste my time.

I bought this funnel after my husband complained one more time about the ATF pouring everywhere under our van. He does all the oil and transmission fluid changes in the driveway, and I am the one scrubbing the driveway stains later. This funnel sits low and wide so he can slide it under without jacking the car up, which is really handy with kids running around. The tall back wall keeps most of the fluid from splashing out. Cleaning it is where I got a little annoyed. The corners hang on to gunk and I have to really spray it out. Still, it keeps the mess way more contained than our old shallow pan.

I grabbed this funnel for weekend oil changes and transmission fluid swaps in the driveway. I’m in my early 40s with two kids running around, so keeping mess under control matters. This thing is wide and long enough that I can tuck it under the car and it actually catches what it should. I just angle it toward my drain pan and the fluid goes right where i want it. No more cardboard science projects under the car. Cleanup’s quick. One real win was changing the transmission fluid on our minivan without coating the garage floor. For the price, it does exactly what I need and saves me time wiping stuff up bc I missed the pan.

If your rolling drain pan just has the usual round top - this is awesome! No more trans fluid dripping everywhere.

Utilizo la bandeja sobre la copa de mi recibidor de aceite. Es ideal para evitar que pequeños tornillos caigan al suelo y se pierdan. También funciona bien para atrapar anticongelante o aceite que escurre de forma extensa. El plástico se siente de buena calidad y resistente.

Excelente producto, es justamnete lo que esperaba

utilized to catch transmission fluid when removing pans from trans. Needs an additional catch pan underneath, but works great!

Nice quality drain pan.
