Admittedly, this is a niche item. My father has a Corvette that had not been started in 20+ years. I wanted to circulate oil throughout the engine without turning the engine over and causing bearing wear. Common practice is to remove the distributor and use a drill to spin the oil pump. Using this simple part eliminates the need to remove the distributor.
This part is sized to slide over the threads that the oil filter attaches to, which are 13/16ths. The hose barb is meant for 5/8" OD ½" ID tubing.
The other end of the hose goes into a quart bottle of oil, which I then pressurize using an air compressor to force the oil out of the bottle and into the engine. Once oil starts dripping out of the oil pan drain, you're done!
I printed with TPU and used a hose clamp to seal it onto the oil filter outlet.
EDIT: I added a model of a quart oil bottle cap that can accommodate the 5/8 tubing as well as a 3mm hole for your traditional air compressor blow gun nozzle to pressurize the bottle.
