I gave out my secret a while back with NO responses.  So I will give it out again.  I use an Old WATER fire extinguisher.  Just fill with oil of your choice, pump it up with air and you have a go anywhere oil filler.  Use the proper amount of air and you can either SHOOT the oil where you want it or drip it in.  I added a 3 ft length of hose to the original one and I can use it anywhere.  Try that!

Thought I would get a few people to maybe offer advice
on putting gear oil in trannys, transfer cases, etc.
On a jeep, it is real hard to invert the gear oil bottle and pour it in .
Do they make a pump for this ?
On my duece, it is so much easier, but a few spots you still can't turn the bottle up.
I have a 5 gallon can of gear oil, but normally just fill the bottles and keep trying to turn them up and squeeze it out !
There has to be an easier way !
Someone share a secret or two !
