Works great for pouring in 5 quart containers at oil change time as well.

With your capability, I expect one made from CNC using billet aluminum
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Here is an example for a Subaru:

It threads onto your oil filler neck, so that you don't need to hold it in place while you pour oil.
It doesn't exist for 996 but I would like to hear otherwise. You can probably make one easily with a spare oil filler cap and a funnel.

I'm only half joking. Bonus if you can make one that holds a 1qt oil bottle in place without straining the oil filler tube.
Neat idea but I just pop the filler neck out of the metal clip that�s connected to the air box. It lifts it up just enough to act like a makeshift funnel.
I bought a plastic funnel from AutoZone, measured the oil filler pipe center section, then cut the plastic funnel tube to fit tightly in the oil filler pipe. I don't even have to unsnap the oil filler pipe from the air box now just to add some oil. Works great for pouring in 5 quart containers at oil change time as well. No fuss no muss.
Original oil filler pipe had a big open hole. New oil filler pipe has a center piece with a small hole. Very difficult to pour oil into the little center hole. Thus funnel ^^
Hey all,
So just kicking this thread off again as i have the same leaking seal which was found when making the smoke test.
So question is what type of seal should be used?
Is it single lipped or double lipped?
WIth or without spring?
SKF version was sitting at 52 GBP each!!!
So not sure if I want to go down the ALiExpress route just yet..
Anyhow any advice on what type of seal it should be?
Cheers
Alex
I use this

. I have adapters for my S4 and Alltrack. I would buy an adapter for a 996 if it existed.
Hey
just realised that my question went to the totally wrong thread😒
my question is directed at a thread regarding the injection system on the 964.
good reading anyway about the filler😀
Cheers
Alex
I have found that the hole in the middle of the fill tube is the perfect size for the oil bottle. Just stick it in, and go open the next bottle of oil as the one in the fill tube is draining.
