Works good. Only downside is it doesn’t have a lid like my older version did.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very simple yet ingenious solution
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2011
I was racking my brain, trying to come up with a way to rig up some sort of measuring/dispensing mechanism when changing the oil in the small engines on various equipment I own. This funnel is *exactly* the solution I was looking for, and is very affordable. Kudos to Hopkins for making a product that is so simple yet such an elegant solution to my needs!

It has a capacity of 1 quart, so for my lawn tractor I'll have to measure twice. But that's a trifling nuisance and certainly not enough to take away a star, as I knew what I was getting when I bought it.

I made a small chart of the oil capacities for my push mower, snow blower, generator, and lawn tractor, so now I can get exactly the right amount of oil into each one without having to guess, check the dipstick, add more oil, and repeat ad infinitum, as I used to have to do.

Pros
o Measurement scales in 4 ounce, 100 ml, and 1/2 pint graduations up to the 1 quart capacity
o On/Off spout lets you precisely control the dispensing
o Removable clear plastic extension tube, with cap to keep any residual oil from leaking out when stored
o Plastic lid for the top to keep dirt and dust out when stored
o Sure handling thanks to the molded on plastic handle

Cons
o None

I use Shell Rotella T6 SAE 5W-40 synthetic oil, which I buy in 1 gallon containers to keep on hand. When I dispensed it into the snow blower's crankcase through the dipstick/fill tube, it flowed slowly enough that it didn't cause any overflow problem as has happened in the past when I was pouring too quickly from a measuring cup.

I cannot think of a single thing that could be done to improve this product in any way, Hopkins has thought of every detail and I could not be more pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect funnel for DSG fluid change on my VW
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2023
I have a 2017 VW Golf Alltrack with the DSG transmission. Its the same transmission found on a number of different VWs, particularly in the automatic GTIs and Rs. Anyway, I thought I'd avoid taking my car into the shop since its usually a hassle and if its a hassle then I might as well do the job myself.

Most videos show doing fill from bottom which is probably faster but this gets the job done just the same. I'm only going to do it about every 3.5-4 years so its not a big difference to me over the life of the car. Also, this avoids a round of splashing around DSG fluid. The tip fits perfectly into the top of the dsg and the funnel itself only needed minimal holding while the fluid drained.

Worked as expected, oil drains into engine a little slow, but probably due to filter at bottom. I do like having a filter to catch contaminants.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not adequate for high metal temperatures
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2016
3 stars since I am not sure who is at fault. In order to keep from burning myself after the engine got hot, I mounted the connection into the dipstick / fill tube of my 2002 Volvo XC70. I then warmed up the engine and transmission fluid only to see that the plastic insert into the end of the hose which had fit nicely in the dipstick / fill tube had melted (the black tip on the end). It appears that it melted but did not drip into the fluid reservior, but not sure. Dripping melted plastic into the transmission would have been very costly possibly ruining my transmission. So, maybe I shouldn't have used it when the metal temperatures were high but it seemed like that should have been anticipated by the designers. In other words, a high temperature plastic seems like would have been a better design choice.

I never actually got to use the FloTool because the black piece on the end was damaged so I don't know much more about it. I can say that the length of the clear tube was barely long enough. And I concur with others who stated that it would have been nice if the tube was a little firmer and would not kink.
