Oil change procedure

[Panda47]

Going to give the car an oil change,the hardest part looks like pouring the oil in,I've seen a few different funnels but not sure which would be the best considering the awkward position of the filler hole...any suggestions please .

Buy the single quart bottles vs the big 5 qt container. The smaller ones are easier to pour with the limited space. I just use a funnel with a hose that I got off Amazon, but this right angle funnel would probably work too.

The Evora has similar issues filling oil.
I saw this aluminium filler neck extension recently when someone was wondering if it would work for their Emira.

I recently did an oil change on my 2021 Evora GT. Since this is an Emira forum, my intention is not to provide detailed steps because there may be minor differences between Evora and Emira. However, since both cars use the same V6, my experience might help you when you are ready to try an oil...

Here are the parts that show unaivalable from Amazo n

From the lotustalk post it looks like a thicker o-ring is needed to clock the funnel properly.

Not sure if they would fit the Emira engine bay though
