Scooter Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Trig a lot of the gear oil comes in containers with a longish (pull out) spout......usually enough clearance to bent it in the hole and squeeze it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris and Alana Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I filled mine up from the ATF dipstick after removing about 2.5l from the sump. worked fine for me and very easy with a cheap funnel I bought from halfrauds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Just poke a piece of garden hose down through the engine bay, crawl underneath and poke it in the fill point, put a funnel in the top and fill until the oil starts to run out, simple;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Just make sure the car is level and if oil is flowing out the filler plug wait until it stops before refitting the plug or you may overfill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
