I was wondering if anyone has purchased a GM or aftermarket angled oil fill tube, and if so which one? It is a bit of a pain to add oil to my truck b/c the hole is recessed so far at a 45 degree angle. Also another disappointment about GM from me, the dipstick is way back towards the firewall and flimsy as hell! If you're 6 ft+ it's probably not much of a problem, I'm not:confused: I have to use 2 funnels to add oilo_O

I’m using a “fill tube” from a 2019 Silverado 5.3, you (I) still need a funnel but it does correct the angle. I’m going to get the funnel linked above to see if that’s even possible/better. I figured I was willing to gamble the $10.15 USD to find out. The pictures are deceiving, mine didn’t come with a oil cap.

Put a piece of fuel line, garden hose or ?? on the end of the yellow funnel.

It's getting to the dipstick that aggravates me. What's with the spiral design and not easily readable either.
