Default Re: filling transmission oil

I have used the method of using the fish tank air bubble tube attached to a
funnel with duct tape BUT the best method is invest in an oil filler can
with a pump from your local auto part store. You fill the can with oil and
you pump it in a little at a time until it's all filled up.

The bad thing about having the pump is that you'll only use it every few
years.
