Ok I changed my oil the other day and ended up removing the little black funnel over the starter since it was barely hanging on. Should I see about getting a new one or trying to put the old one back on? I don't want the oil dripping all over the starter and causing it to catch fire etc...

 

Even with my funnel on i get oil all over the place. I say leave it off.

 

Yeah, I had to replace mine becuase the oil filter came loose and dribbled oil yuminess all over my starter, that thing doesn't work... You should invest in one of those aluminized fabric starter covers from summit, I am payday.

 

Yea that sounds much safer then that POS thing they call a funnel, could you send me the link via PM?

i havent dripped oil on my starter yet(knock on wood). i think the funnel isnt that bad. i just have a problem gettin my freakin hand down there to turn the oil filter.

 

that thing is useless... i just catch the oil with shop towels... no problems yet

 

cool, thanks for the link I'm going to get that before my next oil change I think.

 

When my starter when bad i had to take that damn funnel out. I couldn't get it back on so i just left if off. I havn't had a problem yet with oil catching fire. *knock on wood* I heard that even if the oil did catch a spark it wouldn't set flame it would just smoke.

 

I had to replace mine cause it was full of mud and oil... I'm just getting that cover to keep the majority of both off my starter so i don't have to replace it again.
