Hi, is there an easy way of putting in engine oil without getting it everywhere !!!Thanks....There is just no room to move !

I've seen somewhere, might have been JK, a tool (basically like a long tube/funnel type device) for filling up the oil on a T25

I'll have a look now, see if I can find one

You could always make your own oil filler, using a funnel, little section of pipe/hose, and a jubilee clip

Open your flap, wedge it open with the filler cap, stick your finger in and pull the inner tube out of the filler tube,pour it in - what's difficult?

On long trips, i usually put a pint of oil in a used 1 pint milk bottle. The bottle is then stowed next to my fresh water container space. Easy access.

The slim 1 pint bottle coupled w the extended filler tubemakes a effective topping up option

Happy driving...

Or you can cut the top section off a plastic soft drink bottle and use that as a funnel after you extend the pull out filler tube??

I've never looked to see if there's a filler tube

Just had a look at my oil filler... it doesn't have an extendable tube thingy

i wedge the flap open with with filler cap and then use a 50p plastic funnel. Done.

I Use a funnel like suggested but with a cable tie attached and looped over lock of tailgate with tailgate open. Works pretty well. Don't need three hands

The middle part pulls out.

I have a plastic milk bottle with most of one side cut off. That forms a funnel on the slope. I keep one for water and one for oil.
