Purchase a cheap funnel from a automotive store, and try using that. best to have a spare person to hold funnel, and you control the pouring. every 10 secs, check the oil level. You do not want too much oil!!!! :) if you're wondering why it goes in so slowly, its because there is a "baffle" just under the cap that slows down oil going in to prevent the oil from filling up the top of the cylinder head with oil, thus allowing oil into the intake through the pcv vent or pcv valve itself. when this happens its a smoky startup and that oil is then lost because it gets burnt up in the combustion chambers.
