This morning the 3.8-liter V6 in our Eclipse GT drank a quart and a half of oil. Each quart, which we bought at a Shell gasoline station, cost $3.24, but sadly the the Shell station was out of those little paper funnels which are usually crucial to a successful and mess free pour.
Mitsubishi must have anticipated my plight. Its engineers placed the dipstick and the oil filler hole perfectly for the task. Both are easily reached, clearly marked and the filler hole is so large a funnel wasn't even needed...
A hands clean operation and a clear victory in the war of underhood ergonomics.
