I changed my front and rear differential fluid, I used the Mobil One synthetic....I used the one quart bottles with the nipshttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif. I got the oil in ok....but it was kind of a pain the the AAss. For the next time I take on this project I was woundering if there was any tips/tricks. I did remove the front side plate that helped. But getting the oil in was not as easy.


Thanks....

I have something like that for the my boat's lower unit oil. I guess this will have to part of the tool box for the next change.


Thanks Eric

Look around your auto shops. I got a unit that screws on the quart bottle, has an on/off twist valve and a plastic tube you stick in the hole. Hold the bottle up and turn on the valve and the lube runs in. cost about $4.

I just bought one of those at Wal-Mart today. It has a long enough tube on it that I think it will be just the thing to change my transfer case fluid with.

I also use the cap with the twist valve. I start by putting the cap on the bottle then turn it upside down with the vinyl fill tube pointing up. I then poke a hole in the bottom of the bottle before placing the tube in the diff fill hole. The hole in the oil bottle speeds up the fill quite a bit.
