ABSTRACT:
An oil filler cap with an integrated oil directing funnel. The cap is configurable to fit many automobile makes and models, and is configured to accept the threaded top end of standard quart containers. The integrated funnel is extendible to a fully open position wherein it facilitates replacement of engine oil in a manner preventing spillage onto the engine block and vicinity. Once the outlet of a standard quart container of engine oil is placed into the collapsible funnel to engage the cap structure, the funnel may then collapse to its resting position while passing engine oil from the standard quart container to the engine block. Drainage holes in the cap recapture oil that seeps through or clings to the integrated funnel.
