Oil changes on road trips .

[c10]

Ever find on a trip you cant find a funnel that fits ? Dont want to pack your shop funnel from home ? A simple Ford Motor company fuel funnel
that comes with your ford car/truck trimmed down just a bit . Add a 5/8" O.D. hose with black silicone smeared on the hose then inserted into the funnel . For extra Fun try adding a piece of left over emissions tubing off a bike ( pair valve tubing ) mine came from my FJR1300 to add a offset
for adding fuel from a gas can on the road side for those oops moments when you thought you could make the next station
Blue paper towels to keep the dust out till use .

Cool idea but just out of curiosity if you know you're going to hit an oil change on a trip why not just play it safe and change your oil before hand?

If touring it's possible to need an oil change mid trip. If your someone that considers 200 miles a road trip then this probably wouldn't pertain to you , but if you like to take two weeks off work just to go for a ride then you will find yourself changing oil in a parking lot.

a road trip for me is 3000 or better in 7 days . My day trips are usual 675 to 800 . FYI 3800 mile on a stock seat DR650 in 6 days
