You're right, sorry I should have mentioned that.

I used a funnel with an attached tube I picked up at Auto Zone and added some more tubing at the end. I ran the tube straight up through the engine compartment by the oil filler tube and filled it from the top. Since the oil is thick and the tube is small, it takes awhile so next time I will use a larger funnel to keep me from having to wait to refill so much. Since I changed the oil at the same time, I would fill the funnel then go put a quart of motor oil in while it drained down. It worked out well and my wife really noticed the difference too without prompting.
