Looks like a good funnel. I would recommend this funnel to anyone, both professional or backyard mechanic. Like the lids to keep clean

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.
