SUBSTANCE: invention relates to special garage equipment and it can be used for washing inner spaces of sets to be filled with motor, transmission and other oils or special liquids, for instance, engine crankcases. Proposed device contains funnel with ring base and drain pipe whose longitudinal symmetry axis passes through top of funnel and center of ring base. Device contains additionally locking mechanism made in form of rigid spring-loaded tie-rod with pressure button and grips placed in cylindrical protective housing. Pressure button is mounted on lower end of tie-rod, grips are made in form of articulated links connected in pairs and secured on upper end of tie-rod and protective housing. Said housing passes through side wall of funnel.
