That's great KB, but if your like me. You know, ultimatley concerned about deforestation and the ozone layer, you would know that each 52100 stainless steel funnel that you discard will be in our environment for the next 157,000,000 years. I use a much more environmentally friendly method. I collect spotted owl $#it and distill it at precisely 348* celsius for 27 hours. Once the solids are removed, I take the remaining liquid, one part Puruvian goat urine to three parts distilled spotted owl $#it and let that ferment for 90 days. I then chill the mixture to -23 kelvan for 48 hours. Once chilled, spin it in a high speed centrifugal liquid seperator for 10 minutes. Bada Bing! Dip your funnel immediatly into solution for 3.7 seconds. Discard unused portion according to EPA standard 4910.6 sub paragraph 00.864 adendum B2. We all need to be a little more aware of what we put in our environment.

I only use a 52100 stainless steel funnel once then discard the soiled one. The new funnels I purchase are stored in a locked humidity and temperature controlled class100 clean room vault until ready for use. Any oil spilled on the floor of my garage is immediately removed with a 300F degree muratic acid wash and dried with a flame thrower and the exhaust gas from a General Electric CFM56 gas turbine engine that I converted into a leaf blower. I'm very serious about keeping the dirt away from my engine.
Fine......but I really don't discard the SS 52100 funnels......I recently rented some smelting time on the old LTV Bessemer #2 Blast Furnace here at the Cleveland works and I heat the furnace to 2000F then add 47 tons of slag & coke bring that mixture to almost white heat then add the soiled funnels......let em get steamy hot (that's a technical term) then ladle off all the impurities and cast them into #27 SS torx screws for my primary cover. See...I'm no EPA nightmare
ROFLOL... You people are just sick... I bet you even recycle your old oil? I just pour mine in a salmon creek... lol
Why hell no........I just toss my used oil in my neighbors shrubs.......

I just let it drain out over my dandelion weeds and then light 'em off. Kills the weeds and scares the crap out of the rest of them sum' bitches. Keeps my lawn pretty clean of weeds. Beats the hell out of adding noxious chemicals.

What do you clean a oil change funnel with after a oil change?
I don't clean mine, or at least I do it infrequently. Instead, I put it in a large Ziplock bag and seal it up, so the next time no dust or other contaminants have touched it. I have two that go in the bag--one for engine oil and another smaller one with a long spout for tranny and primary. Since I buy oil by the pail, I have three measuring containers (1 pt., 1 qt., and 1 gal.) for measuring the fluids, all going in a second Ziplock bag. Don't routinely clean those either.

When I'm not using it, my grandkids play with it in their sand box, usually using it to fill empty wine and beer bottles with sand. By the time I it need it again, it's scoured perfectly clean.
