Running fine, but after 40K miles thought I'd put some of that great RXP into the tank to help it...

but HOW in the heck do you add a fuel additive to these fancy no cap fuel inlets ?????

After pouring two bottles on the garage floor and staining the floor,
I tried a screwdriver, and long funnel, and neither released the door...
does it have to be metal and round ?

that lil bottle of stuff is too expensive to poor on the floor

I did the same. The owners manual describes where there's a little custom funnel. I forget now, maybe under the rear seat, in a cubbyhole. I don't know what RXP is but a turbo may not take kindly to it.

Thanks !
I guess I missed that part of the manual and never having had a no cap filler

Turbos don't mind rxp - it's just a great fuel additive I've been using for about 10 years in all manner of vehicle, gas, deezle, turbo, lawnmowers


OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found it by trying about 10 search terms on line !

Do not use aftermarket funnels; they will not work with the capless fuel system and can damage it. The included funnel has been specially designed to work safely with your vehicle.
When filling the vehicle’s fuel tank from a portable fuel container, use the funnel included with the vehicle.
1. Locate the white plastic funnel in the spare tire compartment.
2. Slowly insert the funnel into the capless fuel system.
3. Fill the vehicle with fuel from the portable fuel container.
4. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it.
Extra funnels can be purchased from your authorized dealer if you choose to dispose of the funnel.
