Honda generator oil change funnel tube

I've owned several of the nice machined aluminum oil tubes. I've also misplaced several of them so I was about to order another.

You can buy the ALUMINUM TUBES in red or standard aluminum for $23.95

Or the ALUMINUM DRAIN TUBE AND MAGNETIC DIPSTICK FOR $30.00. I hadn't seen these before.

And also what I just found are the PLASTIC TUBES in either red or black, for $7.99.

I have several Hondas that I keep in various locations which is probably why I keeping misplacing the tubes. And, considering that I do misplace them, I just ordered two of the much cheaper plastic tubes. We'll see how they work.

And for those who have a Coleman Pulse generator, the "Honda" tubes also fit the Pulse generators just fine.

  • Nice find will keep this in mind for the next time l loose my aluminum one, I did try the aluminum cap dipsticks on my three 2000I's but all three seeped oil so went back to the plastic .

    Getting oil out without a mess is the job.


    These tubes take care of emptying the oil - no mess.

    Now go borrow one of the DW's cookie sheets for that oil leak you have under the car.

  • They do work well. One of my eu2000s has been burning oil. Smokes pretty good at startup, runs fine after that. Adding oil every few weeks. Weird.
