XL Oil Change Tool - Fits Oil Filters Up to 4" Diameter - Spill-Free Oil Filter Funnel with Magnet - Hands Free Magnetic Hold to Filter - Durable Nitrile Rubber Construction for Maximum Grip

I was debating between the larger diameter cup and smaller one designed for smaller filters. My filter for my Honda Crosstour and Toyota RaV 4 measured 2 1/2” diameter. Being the smaller model fits filters under 2 3/4” I had concern from a review that the spacing between the filter and inner wall of the cup could potential slow down or block the rate of oil causing it to overfill. This cup is soft and malleable and even though my filter on my Honda doesn’t have a lot of room on one side this fit up around the filter perfectly and collected the oil not spilling a drop. Now I specifically ordered a 3/4” reinforced section of hose that fits the drain port perfectly and there is a second cap and that holds a 3/4” inside diameter hose while not in use and I liked kept the bag the hose came in so while the hose drains it drains into the support bag it came in. I ordered the holder as part of a kit that offered a savings over buying it separately. The holder has strong magnets and holes for screws if you wanted. Now I felt this is a game changer as no more oil dripping from a filter letting wind blow it wherever it wanted. And collected it all. I actually had no use for the hose because the end of this cup I was able to direct right into an oil pan. I believe of if I capped the end it would hold all the oil and I wouldn’t need a hose or oil pan. CONS: Now i felt after one use i would make some changes to in better help use it. The cup is made of very soft malleable rubber and i was wearing surgical gloves which had gotten oil on them, this became a problem trying to grip the housing. Because it’s so slick and when oil gets inside it’s hard to grip the filter and turn because the cup will slip and or your hand will slip on the very smooth rubber. Personally a huge improvement would be to have flats like a NUT all the way around so your fingers would have something to grab and not slip so easily. I actually very surprised this wasn’t thought of or this section had more of a texture like rough sand because of your hands are slick then trying to squeeze this enough to grab the filter and turn it is not that easy and even harder to determine when is the filter doing to drop? The magnet inside the cup as you can see can hold a filter upside down and even with oil it in when I turned to empty it into the oil pan the filter never fell out so this thing works. I would also like to see maybe some magnets on the inside walls so it also helps hold the filter as you turn it. Something I think I will add to mine because if the cup held the filter then it would be easier to turn. Just some input from using it the first time. Like all my stuff I take care of things and I washed it and since I hadn’t gotten the holder at the time it went back in the box clean. I honestly am not sure a smaller cup would be a benefit or a risk of overflowing. My opinion but I don’t see the need to gamble. Get the large one and make your oil changes cleaner which is even more beneficial when you install a drain porn like a Fujimoto drain port like I have in all my vehicles. This now makes that one last step a little cleaner.

My engine cover takes mechanics with a ramp some time to take on and off. Under my rhino ramps at home, there is no way that I could get it back on or off without a fight. So it stays put. It has a tight, very deep recess where the oil filter lives. My hand plus the filter was too tight a fit when getting it down through the opening in the cover. Normally I had a 50% chance of dropping the filter up there inside the cover - with it leaking everywhere. So I added a one-foot-long solid shaft to extend the udder. After loosening the filter with a fifteen-flute oil filter wrench, I used the soft rubber on the udder to grab and rotate the filter a little more, and then once it was free-spinning, the magnet in the udder took over. Down it came on the shaft, with the oil still in the filter, and no old oil spilled, not one drop. When it came time to pull the filter away from the udder, the filter pulled away easily from the magnet. This tool is well thought out and well made. It makes a vast difference to what used to be a very messy business. Thanks so much, guys.

The first time that I used this tool, I found it easy to use, and it worked very well. After I has loosened the oil filter with a metal cap-style wrench, I attached the Oil Udder to the bottom of the filter using the built-in magnet, and then manually loosened the filter the rent of the way by grasping and turning the outside of the rubber funnel. (I had wondered if this would allow me sufficient grip on the filter, but it worked just fine.) Furthermore, all of the oil that leaked out from the top of the filter was contained inside the Oil Udder as the filter was unscrewed from its mounting location on the engine; no oil got on my hands as I performed this operation, which usually has not been the case. I should point out that, n my case, the oil filter was mounted vertically, with the filter opening facing upwards; removing a filter mounted horizontally may not be as clean a job, but I would expect the Oil Udder to make it cleaner than it would be otherwise. Overall, I am completely satisfied with this product and I would definitely recommend it to others.

First I want to say that this is a great idea for the most part. I used this on a 2019 Ram with the 5.7, which is well known to have an oil filter in a spot that can cause a big mess when removing. The funnel was helpful by holding it under the filter, loosening the filter, and allowing it to drain into the funnel before removal. I moved to the drain plug, which has a sway bar next to it. I tried to position the flexible funnel in such a way that it could fit between the oil pan and sway bar. Unfortunately, when doing so the magnet (meant to catch the drain plug as it falls) stuck to the oil pan and pulled out of the funnel (shown in the first photo). Then the drain plug fell into the funnel, blocked it, and allowed about half the oil to overflow onto the drive before I could get the plug out of it. If the magnet was more positively seated, and couldn’t easily be removed, I believe it would have worked as expected. I still feel it’s a great tool to have, I just learned a very messy lesson I hoped to pass on to others. I would still recommend it.

I really liked the "idea" of this product, and I had high hopes for it working with my 2017 ram 1500 with a 5.7L But no go, there is no way to get this on the filter with any real chance of collecting the over flowing oil. It simply pours down the sides and makes that mess we're all used to because of Ram's failure of a filter placement. As such, it'll hang on the wall for the day I own something else that it may work on. Great product idea, but not for my truck.
