How? What do you use to get the oil in the tranny instead of everywhere else?

I bought a tool from my FLAPS. IT is a plastic cap that screws onto the bottle and has a tube that you can put in the fill hole. Then just invert the bottle and squeeze. I can upload a picture tomorrow if you want.

A while back, I bought a quart in a bottle like this:

I fill it from a five-gallon can of 80-90 with a funnel.
Put it up to the fill hole, then squeeze.

This type of pump works great.

I just used one of those pumps that were used to fill kerosene in a kerosene heater, which goes into the bottle vertical and the part you squeeze is at the top and it pumps out horizontally.

The real question is how often should you change the transmission oil... idea.gif

How many miles and what type of driving?

Factory manual says 12000m, IIRC. But that's based on a daily driver situation.
