Anyone thought of a pressurizing the bottle to transfer the oil out?

Seems doable. I think I saw something like that somewhere. Sort of like those garden sprayers but more heavy duty and you could hook up a compressor set low.

Tried googling it but didn't hit the right keyword I guess.

usually it's with the brake pressure bleeders but I'm thinking you could use the same concept for gear oil.

I'm planning to experiment later in a few months.

It will take some pressure to do it. I used 80W-90 and my little hand pump gave me a workout. I can only imagine how hard the thicker stuff would be. I'll be curious to see how your experiment goes. :)

I stick a piece of clear, flexible tubing on the spout, stick the bottle up high and squeeze. Always works, never a mess....but yeah, my hands get a workout.

I just consider that weightlifting for going shooting ;)

Got the rear differential done a week ago, then today did the Power Steering Fluid. Slowly but surely my vampire tactics are being implemented. :mexsmoke:

Still sucking! :ROFLJest:

Did the ATF +4 in the Transfer Case today. See? All the great advice you guys gave me is being put to good use. See Post #1 for an updated checklist. Thanks again! :favorites13:

I have some stuff to clean the throttle body and IAC but can't seem to find a good guide. Anyone know of one?

Also, this is the stuff I have: CRC-Throttle-Body-Single-Use-Twin Pack . It's a little late since it's already sitting in the garage, but is it good stuff?

Hoping to do this tomorrow. :)
