A few have done it... you'll need a funnel with a long neck!

Guilty as charged matey lol.... ;D

Only thing i will say is keep on top of the breathers as when using the plastic covers, they leak as the breathers get blocked. With the metal covers it will have to find an alternative route and as you drive a veccy too, you will know the crank seals go!!

Good luck with it...   ...as you have found out, own of those funnels with a flexi hose on bottom is probably worthwhile...
