I picked up this funnel while in Mordo-um, Wal-Mart. It's red, the funnel end is rectangular with a small handle (holds maybe a quart), and the spout section comes apart into several pieces of varying lengths, flexibility and diameters. It's about 18 inches in overall length assembled. I think it was less than two bucks. It's turned out to be pretty damned useful- I think I have two of them now and gave one away. I have an auto tranny, so it's good for that and it helps for putting in oil through the plate hole, as well as for reaching other odd-to-reach areas. No need to juggle bottles.
