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.

Ok hot off the presses :
Does the 5 character minimum aggravate you (it does me).
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?
