SEDY 18-Piece Engine Oil Funnel Set, 1.59QT/1.5L Automotive Oil Funnel Kit with 12 Adapters, Elbow Fitting, Arrow Screen and Magnetic Storage Hooks Tray, Compatible with GM, Ford, BMW, Audi, Land Rover Etc

A clean, spill-free oil change is a rarity in a home garage. The SEDY oil funnel kit got me closer than anything else I’ve tried. After a few services across different makes, it’s earned a spot on my pegboard—and a few nitpicks I’d like to see refined.

What’s in the kit and first impressions

This is an 18-piece set centered around a 1.59-quart (1.5 L) transparent funnel with a shutoff valve and a removable mesh screen. You get 12 color‑coded, gasketed adapters that thread into oil filler necks across a wide swath of brands (Toyota/Lexus, Honda/Nissan, Hyundai/Kia, Ford/GM/Chrysler, BMW/Mercedes, VAG, Subaru, and more), plus an elbow fitting for tight or angled fills. Two magnetic trays with hooks make adapter storage painless.

Out of the box, the plastics feel better than the commodity funnels I’ve relegated to coolant or ATF duty. Threads on the adapters are clean, the rubber gaskets seat positively, and the funnel body is stiff enough that it doesn’t sag when full. The transparent cup and clear graduations are practical; you can see oil flow and measure as you go.

Setup and ease of use

Using the kit is straightforward:
- Thread the correct adapter into your engine’s filler neck until the gasket makes contact; don’t over-tighten.
- If access is awkward, snap the elbow between the adapter and the valve/funnel.
- Close the valve, fill the cup to your desired mark, then open the valve to dispense.

The big win is hands‑free stability. With the adapter providing a positive seal, I can step away to grab the next quart instead of balancing a wobbly funnel or babysitting glugs from a 5‑quart jug. On cars with a level fill neck, the setup stays vertical and drip‑free.

Spill control and valve behavior

The sealing performance has been excellent. The combination of thread‑in adapters and rubber gaskets stops the weeping you get with press‑fit funnels, especially on engines with shallow, angled necks. The valve itself turns smoothly and shuts off cleanly without the half‑second dribble some cheaper valves exhibit.

A nuance worth noting if you rely on the measurement marks: the valve body and lower neck retain a small amount of oil when closed. In my measurements, that’s roughly a tenth of a quart, depending on the angle. If you’re pre‑measuring the final half‑quart on a tight-capacity engine, account for that trapped volume or finish by cracking the bottle to top off.

The mesh screen is a nice safety net. It’ll catch foil seal confetti or dust you didn’t notice around a cap. It’s removable and easy to rinse—don’t skip it if you service in a dusty garage.

Compatibility and the adapter set

I used the kit on a Toyota inline‑4, a late‑model GM V8, and a Honda V6. In each case, a color‑coded adapter threaded in positively and sealed without fuss. The range included here will cover most mainstream brands, and the color coding makes it quick to find your go‑to sizes once you learn which color fits which family.

The elbow is a quiet hero. On transverse engines with angled fill necks or when the filler sits under a brace, the elbow keeps the funnel upright so you can actually use the measurement markings. It also reduces stress on the adapter threads when the funnel is full.

One caveat: on a heavy‑duty truck where the fill neck sits near the firewall, there isn’t always enough vertical clearance to keep the funnel perfectly straight, even with the elbow. In those cases, I had better luck pre‑measuring with the valve closed, then threading the funnel on to dispense.

Build quality and materials

The plastics shrug off hot oil without softening, and the funnel walls don’t flex alarmingly when full. The adapter gaskets are supple and seal reliably; a light oil film before installation keeps them happy. The valve handle has enough leverage to operate easily with a gloved hand, and the threads haven’t shown galling or cross‑thread tendencies so far.

After multiple uses, the markings are still legible and haven’t wiped off with normal cleaning. I appreciate that the funnel body is transparent rather than tinted—small detail, real benefit.

Storage and organization

The two magnetic trays with hooks are smarter than they look. I stuck one to the side of a steel toolbox and another to a lift post; adapters stay put and visible, and I’m not fishing for the right piece in a zipper bag. The magnets are strong enough to resist incidental bumps, yet the trays lift off easily when you want to relocate them.

If I could change anything, I’d include a cap for the funnel’s threaded neck for storage. After cleaning, a cap would keep dust out and protect the threads in the drawer. Not a deal‑breaker, but it would complete the package.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleanup is quick. A warm oil flush through the screen and valve followed by a wipe‑down gets most residue. For thorough cleaning, a bit of mild detergent and hot water works; just dry the valve seat and gaskets before stowing to keep them from sticking. Periodically check the adapter gaskets—if you see nicks or flattening, rotate to a less‑used gasket or keep a generic O‑ring kit on hand.

Real-world time saved

Compared with a traditional funnel, the kit is faster in two ways:
- You’re not stopping to re-seat a slipping funnel or mop up drips from an imperfect fit.
- Pre‑measuring the last half‑quart or so goes faster than coaxing it from a cold bottle.

On a typical oil change, I shaved a few minutes of fiddling, and the work area stayed clean. The difference is more pronounced when you’re pouring from large 5‑quart jugs; the ability to decant, let the foam settle, then open the valve makes for a controlled, single‑handed dispense.

Limitations and quirks

• Clearance: Tall funnels plus the valve assembly need room. On some trucks and tight engine bays, plan on using the elbow or pre‑fill/off‑engine method.
• Measurement offsets: As mentioned, the trapped volume below the closed valve slightly skews the graduations. Learn your setup and it’s easy to compensate.
• No storage cap: A minor omission that would help keep the funnel clean between jobs.

None of these are show‑stoppers, but they’re worth understanding to get the most from the kit.

Who it’s for

• DIYers who service multiple makes and are tired of makeshift funnel solutions.
• Small shops that want spill‑free, repeatable filling without buying brand‑specific funnels.
• Anyone measuring partial quarts regularly—hybrids, small sumps, or engines sensitive to overfill.

If you only ever work on a single vehicle and already have an OEM‑specific thread‑in funnel, this is less of a leap. But for mixed garages, the flexibility is the draw.

Verdict and recommendation

The SEDY oil funnel kit does the basics right and solves two common headaches: leaky, ill‑fitting funnels and imprecise final top‑offs. The thread‑in, gasketed adapters provide a real seal, the valve gives you control, and the transparent, marked cup takes the guesswork out of partial quarts. The elbow and the color‑coded adapter system make it adaptable across a wide range of cars, and the magnetic trays keep the small parts organized instead of scattered in a drawer.

I’d like to see a storage cap included, and you’ll need to account for the small amount of oil that sits below the closed valve when you’re chasing exact fill volumes. Clearance can challenge some engine bays, though the elbow mitigates that more often than not.

Would I recommend it? Yes. For most home garages and small shops, it’s a practical, durable upgrade that makes oil changes cleaner, faster, and more consistent across different vehicles. If your workflow values hands‑free, no‑spill filling and accurate topping off, this kit earns its spot.
