Re: puttin oil on the diff (pdd000)
I made a filler with some large diameter aquarium hose and a funnel. I held the end inplace while I had my buddy pour the thick and heavy oil into it. It took a while, but we warmed the oil by putting the containers in hot water first for about 15 mins. It worked out pretty well. :thumbs:

I dumped some in my mouth once pulling the tranny out of my 69 Camaro. It tastes awful.
The only thing that got rid of the taste was listerine followed by Citrus Vodka.

Re: puttin oil on the diff (66ImpalaLT1)
Speaking of hand pumps........
They make a little hand pump for filling the lower units on inboar/outboard boat motors. It works great with gear oil (thick) as it has to be pumped up into the unit. Sell them a t Wal-mart for a few bucks. Fits in a oil bottle and screws on.
Has anybody tried one of these? Do you guys think that would work?

Re: puttin oil on the diff (carpe dm)
I just attach around 18" of clear tubing to the bottle of fluid and squeeze it into the carrier. I can get the entire bottles worth in (sans the tubing volume).
