A drain funnel for directing oil or transmission fluid from the oil pan or transmission of a vehicle to a collecting pan or receptacle. The drain funnel is characterized by a tapered body portion having a top rim which mounts multiple socket supports that support a socket in the center of a circle defined by the top rim. The socket is fitted with a plug receptacle or with threads for receiving a companion threaded plug receptacle for engaging an oil pan, crankcase or transmission drain plug on the vehicle and seating the drain plug in the plug receptacle or in a recessed cage in the plug receptacle to prevent the drain plug from falling through the funnel. In a preferred embodiment a funnel nipple is provided at the bottom end of the tapered funnel body and is threaded to receive a drain hose for draining the oil or transmission fluid into the collecting pan or receptacle.
