I think most of us on here have changed our own oil for the most part and know the problem with the oil draining over the steering. I have made a solution to this hopefully and would like 2 people to test this out on their next oil change and give me honest feedback. If 2 people will send me their address, I would like to send 1 of these for testing. I am new to 3D printing and this is my first go round with building something from the ground up. Thanks in advance guys.

Looks good man...I assume that is an FDM printer and not a UV resin based on the size. If you start producing these more frequently insure that the material is not going to be compromised by the oil. A lot of the prosumer material is not compatible with repeated petrochemical exposure.

Nice! I usually wrap a piece of tinfoil over cardboard and "make" a ramp each time but this would be nice to have. A permanent tool.

Looks a little tight. Is the filter able to be completely unscrewed with it in place? wonder how it would work with the larger SRT filter I use

Cool to see people can just 3d print innovative things these days.
Looks to be a little short for the scoop, maybe a little longer or even better able to connect a piece of tubing and throw a clamp gently over it like a funnel.

I just got my oil udder XXL in today, it fits the SRT filter on the truck currently (very tight on the side between the lines), i'm not due for a change for a while so I don't know how well it will work.
Doesn't look like this leaves enough space to be unscrewed completely with this under it.

I cover it with a silicone baking mat I stole from the kitchen. Wife is still looking for it.

I have the K & N filter on there which has a "Nut" at the bottom to make it easier to loosen, so it may be tighter on mine.

I added a bit of length on the testers I sent out.

I am using PLA on a Longer K5 Pro. First printer and first project I built from scratch.
