Yeah, it's a given. But, I'm willing to bet it gets overlooked.

You have to stop posting for a while Thook so I can catch you

And yes few want to change the oil when hot regardless of the oil .

I drop my truck off at the dealeship with the synthetic gear lube on the passenger seat. When I pick up the truck it's done.

I suppose I actually contribute something to thread.....

I usually fill mine with gravity.....through a funnel cut out of a gear oil bottle with one of those cheap, screw on hoses from the auto store down to the fill hole. I think it's easier than tearing the console apart and taking out the shifter. Just hang the funnel from the side view mirror, step back, have a smoke, and hang with the dogs for a piece. Relax...

Cheapest solution: take a leftover dish soap bottle with a cap that pops up to open. Pull that part off so now you have a nice fitting to slide a hose over. You pick the hose. Best part - you control how fast the gear oil goes in by altering how hard you squeeze. Seriously - I even use that cap on gear oil bottles. Works awesome.

Ooooo.....that's a good idea. I'll have to try that next time. I buy those big ass squeeze jugs of Dawn from Sam's Club. Either that, or actually make a pump....which I've been threatening to do for some time. We'll see.

I agree n4ynu1010. It's really a good example of STO exchange.

Do you find yourself sometimes frustrated when a simple word can not be sent to answer/reply.
Recent Technical Investigation un-covered that an Icon is generally 5 characters so to get around this just reply with your favorite icon , hopefully this flaw in the software will not be discovered and programmed out so keep it low and enjoy simple reply's , shun the 5 character minimum

Just add some punctuation after the less than five character word. That's fairly simple, no?

Just buy one of those cheap pumps you can screw onto the oil bottle at Kragen for $5 or so.
