Filling tranmission oil

Post by WhiteFinish »

After talking to Mooneggs he told me to fill the tranmission oil with a hose.

It worked, but it seemed very strange to me.

What do you guys think?

Gear oil is extreamly thick... If you are going to use a hose and funnel warm it up.. If am doing that kind of thing at home I let the gear oil sit in a bath of hot water( I usually fire up the kettle and once the water boils I let the oil sit in it for 15 - 20 min while I drain the transmission and do other things).. This will make it flow faster...

All though if I can I use a hose like you are doing stick it on the end of the gear oil bottle and squeez the livin crap out of it and push the fluid in...

I bought like a 2 dollar plastic liquid pump thing and filled it from the bottom while the car was up in the air. It was a little faster and it looks like your whole front end is off and you have a ton of room. http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/sma ... E%20FLUID!

This is exactly what I do as well. An "accordion style" funnel works well, since it can be twisted to fit in a tight space.

Good choice of gear oil btw ;)
