Thread: R380 Gearbox Filler Tool

I use a big syringe thing which holds about 3/4of a litre or so. Really quick to fill and empty. Has about a foot of flexy hose on the end.

Try Repco, AutoBarn etc usually get them off an auto parts place. Car Parts NT in Katherine sell them, but that probably doesn't help many people.

I buy my oil in 20 litre drums and use a pump on the drum - real easy, simply place filler nozzle in filler hole and pump until it overflows.

For years I fiddled around with filling (and refilling numerous times) little oil bottles or syringe pumps before I bought the 20 litre drum pump at the Orange Field Day. Best move ever as far as oil changes go.

But cheaper than a AB DOER for a workout. Keep fit whilst servicing

You can readily buy a pump that screws onto a standard oil bottle. All use standard sizes of Bottle Closure Thread
