Handy tool to help change oil on Honda EU2000

Honda EU2000 owners have all probably seen the billet aluminum extension for the oil filler hole. Makes changing the oil much cleaner and easier. I was going to go ahead and order one for around $17 when I ran across this little plastic extension made for the Honda. Runs a tad over $7. It got good reviews so I decided to give it a try. I love this thing! It’s longer than the aluminum extensions I’ve seen and seals very well. Threads perfectly into the fill hole. Made changing the oil on the old Honda a pleasant experience! Can be used to fill the oil too.

I believe it fits the EU30000 and some other Hondas too.

    I see cars and trucks on the shoulder of highways all the time that have chew % spit maintenance. If you and everyone around you tolerates your work habits it's no one else's business.

    $7 will buy a 12 pack of Budweiser on sale! I use the PVC Schedule 40 funnel, Didn't cost a dime, I replaced some lawn sprinkler connections and had some PVC left over. Works like a charm and stores next to the oil fill/check.
    Also, a 50cc syringe with a short piece of tubing works great also, takes a few times to pull out the old oil and a few to squirt new oil in, But it does it cleanly!

    While I agree with you, it's not absolutely needed, it's just that I was never a fan of that little drip thingy they put under the drain hole to direct the oil away when you drain it. The add-on spout makes it easier because you don't have to worry about oil leaking back into the base of the genny and the drain pan can be a little further away.

    For years I changed the oil without the spout but I prefer the spout now and find it very handy.

    I bought a Husqvarna all wheel drive lawnmower a couple years ago, and after putting several hours on it, I though I should probably change the oil. I looked all over the engine for the drain plug, and couldn’t find it. Checked the owners manual (last resort) and found out it doesn’t require oil changes. Just add if needed.

    I changed it anyway, but I had to turn it upside down to drain it.

    :):)

    You're not gonna make an enemy out of me, do what works for you. Since the Honda EU2000 only takes .4 of a quart, I figure I can change the oil with the cheapest synthetic I can find (Quaker State Full Syn this time) for about $3.00. The job with the little tool I posted takes about 5 minutes if you're real slow. So what the heck, I say, "why not"?

    My Honda genny is going on 15 years old and I've probably changed the oil in 4 times based on the amount of hours I run it. They're kinda pricey too.

    I know this is gonna make a lot of enemies, but I've never changed the oil in any Honda small motor. I've everything from a wacker, cement mixer, power washer lawn mowers, and several gennys. I check the oil once in a while and I've never needed to add any, so I just run 'em. My compactor/wacker sits outdoors in the weather with a chunk of plastic over it held with a brick and it starts every single spring. The others all start just as easy but are better stored. No draining fuel, no fuel stabilizer, no oil changes. Just get it up and run it.
