How to get oil in the Diff.

[steve-V8s]

OK what cunning methods do you use to get oil from the container into the Diff ? Previously I have used oils that come in a squeezy container with a tube attached. The Millers Diff oil doesn’t.

Long tube via the offside wheel arch

Yup, + funnel taped to workbench... Deck chair, supply of beer & fags - its a long wait watching it drizzle slowly down

Aha, thought it would be something like that. Thanks for the replies Think I will have a go at modifying the bottle lid to take the pipe in place of the funnel.

I have a big syringe!!! Seriously!

Draper - http://www.drapertools.com/b2c/b2citmdsp.pgm?pp_sk...
and
Sealey - http://www.sealey.co.uk/PLPageBuilder.asp?gotonode...

both sell a 1/2 litre syringe with a plastic tube on the end, done in minutes. I've used both and the draper ones tend to leak past the piston after a while, the sealey one though is excellent. Might be worth a search on ebay?

Just looked £7.97 on ebay plus post I guess!

Drill pump About a fiver from your local DIY shop. Handy for just about any fluid related job

hi,all looking at the pump where would i be able to get one of those ,many thanks paul

I got mine from my local car shop for about a fiver. The handy thing is you can put a measured amount in a jug on the floor and then just suck it straight up and into the gearbox etc. Don't use 'em on petrol though

I'll definately be investing in one of those thingies. When I think how I struggled changing my gearbox oil with a 1 litre squeezy bottle.

Just bought myself a Lumatic Suction Oil Gun (500cc)
I'll be using it to change the gearbox oil this week.

Am I sad that I'm excited
