This has a very simple job to do & it works perfect. There are many of these on the market that do the job but are of cheap quality material . It reminds me of stuff I used 50 years ago & still use today. Any "OLD" timer will Know what I mean.

Really nice quality and durable design. A complete package with the drain tray, tube, and nail. Detailed instructions are included with this kit. It is refreshing to see something made in America and created with pride.

Quite amazed, followed the step by step instructions, not that I really needed to but do anyway. A few drops only from pulling the filter out as I could have taken a little more care, the spillway had no issue with oil leaking out or over the sides. Awesome gadget to use as intended, far better than the HD one I have.

The funnel fits under the oil filter very well. However, the supplied tubing is TOO short. By the time I got the oil to flow into the catch container, I had a mess because repositioning the tubing caused the funnel to move from below the filter which resulted in oil draining onto the motor mount and the floor. Ten Cents worth of additional tubing would have made the job mess-free.The nail is too short to be easily used.Ignoring simple details creates imperfect products.

Great funnel for the purpose so long as you got it on the kickstand, have it level and not so much...but I don’t think they designed it for that...

Having just finished cleaning up the oil off of the garage floor...ne that).I was ready to toss this funnel and chalk it up to another lesson in snake oil, I decided to read the enclosed directions (imagine that). As it turns out, I used this thing incorrectly by assuming that I simply slide it under the filter and have at it. That is the perfect recipe for jacking the whole thing up.The directions indicate that I am supposed to take the nail (I figured it was included so that you can flatten your buddies tire and pull your bike in front of him at the garage for your oil change) and poke a hole in the filter to allow it to drain down the funnel into my pan. AHA!It might take a little longer while the filter drains out but its worth it not to have to wipe oil off of the lower assembly and floor.

I bought the Harley shop version of this a few years back because they said it would work but it didn't even fit under the oil filter! This one went under it perfectly. (Out of habit though I still put a paper towel under it). Be sure to follow their directions otherwise you will spill oil from the filter! The pictures in the directions are in color and are very clear.First, drain the oil from the engine & holding tank completely while the engine is warm.Place the Ernst drain pan under the filter and, using the enclosed nail, punch a hole in the bottom of the oil filter (up top at 12:00) and loosen the filter a half a turn until that hole is at the bottom and let it drain COMPLETELY (I used an awl to enlarge the hole for faster draining). DO NOT unscrew it too far! If the filter gasket separates from the filter mount oil will leak all over the engine.Once the filter stops draining, unscrew and remove it and you're done! My paper towel catches any small drips that are left.A simple but effective product, thank you!

I always carefully read reviews before I buy a product online. If I had based my purchase of this funnel on all the negative reviews I read here, I would still be searching for the "Holy Grail" Harley funnel. I went ahead and bought the thing anyway so I could give it a shot, and as a Prime member it arrived in a day and a half. Perfect, I am ready to change the oil and filter in my '01 Road King. I followed the provided directions to get started. I slid the funnel under the filter to just beyond the connection at the oil filter bracket. I was changing out the HD 5 micron filter(14 flute cap) using an oil filter end cap wrench with the cut out for the crank position sensor. Contrary to other reviews here, I had absolutely NO problem getting the wrench to easily slip into place on the filter. The space between funnel and filter is narrow, but plenty wide enough to get the cap wrench in place and still let oil run through. I did the whole punch the hole in the filter thing, rotated it a half turn, let it drain for about 5 minutes, then CAREFULLY began twisting the filter off to drain it at the connection. With the bike on its jiffy stand, the oil ran efficiently down the funnel and out into the plastic oil pan I had placed under the spout, and within 5-10 minutes, the filter was sufficiently drained. I made sure to hold the funnel in place with one hand while SLOWLY loosening the filter with the other, no big deal. The filter fell onto the funnel and I carefully removed it, then slid the back of the funnel out from under the filter bracket, elevating it slightly to drain residual oil, and lifted out of place. Stuck a rag underneath the filter bracket to catch remaining drips, and cleaned the bracket flange. JOB DONE, and absolutely NO MESS. I sat there wondering how all these other guys created such a mess. If you are patient, and take your time performing this task, the funnel works perfectly. Don't be the bull in the china shop like most of us are usually. Besides, while I was waiting for the oil to drain, I got a chance to do some cleaning under the bike I had put off for awhile. I am very pleased I bought this funnel! So, in closing, I can't speak to the filter removal on other motorcycle models, or "fitment" as Harley would say, but this thing worked perfectly for my Road King oil and filter change. Sure makes you glad you don't have to take it back to the "Stealership" service department to have the oil changed. I hope this helps anyone that is looking for an alternative to an oily mess and wasting a box of rags. Safe riding, see you down the road!!

This little thing is kinda handy I guess. Sad part is you have to use a nail to puncture your oil filter to drain the majority of the oil first which takes forever, but it does a great job of keeping that oil going to a desired container. But good luck getting the oil filter off and have this thing trying to catch the oil. Used it twice still makes a mess you'll end up cleaning off your bike and floor. Can't say it's the products fault for Harley's poor filter placement, but I would expect this to eliminate the mess much more than it does. If your filter head allows it take out the lower grub screw plug and drain the filter that way.
