Hydraulic Oil funnel??

[John T]

What are ya'll using to fill up or add Hyd. fluid?

It's a tight fit getting anything down in there.... I've tried a few things always end up spilling a bit.

On BX's - I find this works well

For the 5 gallon bucket size I recommend something like this

I use this from the 5-gallon pail.

Isn’t this question similar to “How to pour piss out of a boot?”. …

I have a couple of BG transmission funnels from back in the day that look very similar to that. They're perfect for getting down in tight spots. The only downside is the end is so small it doesn't drain very fast.

Paid something like $15 to $20 for a cheap pump/siphon. Had about 10 gallons to remove/replace at 400 hour service. Made pretty quick work of it. If I did that daily it probably wouldn’t last long. But I don’t do that daily.

Only if the instructions are written on the heel!

siphon it in.

Put the bucket up on the fender. Put a hose in the bucket and the other end in the filler hole. Put a little air pressure in the bucket enough to force oil through, start the siphon. Then have a seat & wait for it to finish filling.

I'd like to make a funnel out of 3/4" Loc-line someday.

They're nuts.
I wonder if it's a misprint. Extra 9 maybe?

Getting tranny fluid into my Tundra is an odd one also. The fill port is on the side, just above the front driveline.

My fix is a 5’ length of 5/8” OD clear vinyl tubing that I snake down behind the driver side valve cover from above. The tubing slips snugly into the fill hole on the trans. Stick a funnel in the hose on the top side and start pouring.

Would something like this work? Measure the hole and find some hose that fits decently.

Is it made of cocaine?

I dedicate a new garden sprayer to some jobs (such as bleeding a brake line from the bottom Up…or filling an axle or differential w/ gear-oil..)….
….. Cut the spray-wand between the thumb-valve and the nozzle and slip some polyvinyl hose onto the wand…. and route the other end of the hose to the fill-hole. Pump up the sprayer and press the thumb-valve.

This was particularly helpful when the front axle called for 8.5 qts of 80W90…. I can see the graduations on the side of the sprayer reservoir to determine how much has been delivered.

One time use sprayers from WalMart are $8… Long-life sprayer tool for repetitive use…buy a better quality one appox $16-$20…. My gear-oil sprayer has been my friend for 15 years, used for tractors, cars, trucks, shredder/PHD gear-boxes, etc. etc. which use common 80W90.
Another sprayer delivers ATF fluids….

I use one similar to this on my L.

But that Lisle right angle one looks "interesting".

Edit: I found it so interesting that I bought one....hahah. BTW, they are $11.44 at the Big A, so I got one on the way
