Funnel for the 7.3
Has any company’s come out with a funnel that screws into the fill port on the valve cover on the 7.3?
Not the end of the world but the 7.3 isn’t the easiest motor to fill with oil.

That kind of funnel ^^^^^^ up there ^^^^^ is sometimes called a "transmission funnel" and most any auto parts store will have them... what ever they call them. I asked for a long necked funnel and the guy says "Oh you mean a transmission funnel"
What ever...

The tough access thing on the 7.3 must be on dual alternator trucks. On mine with a single alt/batt I use a regular plastic funnel, hold it with one hand, pour with the other, plenty of room in there.

Agree. The extra alternator isn't too bad, but the 2nd battery really cozies up things on that side. I've had a transmission funnel for 20 years or so, the hard part was cleaning all the dust out of it.

The 6.2 has similar issue where a regular height funnel can be a challenge not to spill. I started using the long funnel too. Concern solved.

I have not tried it yet, But at Harbor tool & Freight, I saw an oil funnel kit that claimed it screws onto to the oil fill threads, and has multiple adapters for different models. You might want to look at that.Yes ive spilled a bit when refilling, even putting rags all over, it still gets on the engine.
