Why Oil Funnels Are Outdated in Motorsports: Upgrade to OilSafe Transfer Containers
The Hidden Contaminant Problem in Racing
In high-performance motorsports, every component of a race car must function at peak efficiency. However, one often-overlooked factor is fluid contamination, which can silently degrade performance and lead to unexpected failures. Traditional oil funnels—still commonly used for fluid transfers—are nearly impossible to keep clean, introducing dirt, dust, and other contaminants into critical systems like the engine, transmission, differential, brake system, and cooling system.
According to research from the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE) and the National Research Council of Canada, up to 80% of machinery failures are linked to contamination in lubricants. In motorsports, this means that many “sudden” mechanical issues during a race could be traced back to something as simple as dirty oil transfers. Traditional Outdated PracticeThe Solution: OilSafe Transfer Containers
Originally designed for ultra-clean environments like aerospace, food processing, and high-precision manufacturing, OilSafe Transfer Containers provide an airtight, contamination-free way to handle fluids. By bringing this industrial-level reliability to racing, teams can ensure fluid purity, reduce mechanical failures, and ultimately improve performance while minimizing pit stops.

✅ Sealed & Contamination-Free – Unlike open funnels, OilSafe containers fully enclose fluids, preventing dust, dirt, and debris from entering vital components. ✅ Mess-Free & Easy to Use – No more spills or wasted fluid. OilSafe containers make filling quick, clean, and efficient. ✅ Color-Coded for Precision – Available in 10 distinct colors, these containers eliminate the risk of fluid mix-ups (e.g., accidentally using gear oil in place of brake fluid). Assign each fluid type a dedicated color for 100% accuracy. ✅ Industrial-Grade Durability – Designed for extreme conditions, these containers hold up under the rigorous demands of racing. ✅ Improves Vehicle Longevity & Reliability – With cleaner fluids, race cars experience less wear, meaning fewer unexpected failures and better overall performance on the track.Different Lid Configurations: Left: Stumpy - 5 Qt | Center: Premium Pump - 10 Qt | Right: Stretch - 3 Qt
OilSafe Lid Configurations: The Right Tool for Every Job
OilSafe lids come in different styles, ensuring precise fluid transfer for a variety of motorsport applications.
Lid Types & Applications
🟡 Stumpy Spout Lid – Ideal for high-flow applications such as engine oil changes in race cars, performance street cars, and trucks.
🔴 Utility Lid + Pump – The ultimate replacement for cheap plastic pumps, perfect for: ✔ GT car transmissions ✔ Brake fluid refills ✔ Differentials on off-road & stock cars
🟢 Storage Lid – A space-saving alternative to bulky drums, perfect for storing fluids in the garage, pit, or trailer.
🔵 Stretch & Mini Spout Lid – Designed for precise pouring, especially in hard-to-reach areas like: ✔ Transmission fluids ✔ Differentials on prototypes & open-wheel cars ✔ Small engines (motorcycles, generators, brake fluid reservoirs, etc.)
