Honda 2000i tips and tricks for changing oil.
As the title says...any tips or tricks for not spilling any oil. I haven't mastered it yet, even though I got a little funnel that screws in I always seem to make a mess.

- I elevate mine on a small stool and insert the aftermarket aluminum funnel (threaded) and then tip it on its side so oil can run out into a drain pan. Once done, add the 400ml oil as recommended and clean up any drips. Should be good to go. Doing it on a scrap of cardboard is also a good precaution.
- For adding the oil, I use a plastic syringe. You can find them at Amazon.
I forget the exact size. I think mine is around 50 ml, which is about 1.5 ounces. With a syringe, you can put the oil in without spilling. - Consider a cut to fit small plastic funnel.
- Although I have a 2000w Champion generator, I bought off of eBay a screw in adapter that fits into the oil fill hole and allows a quick no mess drainage of the unit. I am almost positive that they had these listed for other makes including the Honda. If I can find the listing I will forward it. Good luck and stay safe.
