Oil filling made easy

Thanks for all the comments guys,.

I use a 70W which is quite viscous and not a problem, not super quick but okay and at least your not lying under the car dripping oil.
If concerned you could always put the pump in a bucket of hot / boiling water fro few minutes which will heat the oil and reduce the viscosity.

It is all done with air pressure so there are no moving parts to be effected by viscosity, only the friction losses in the hoses will increase with thicker oils.

p.s. High viscosity = Thick Low viscosity = Thin / runny.

Hi,

That is a great idea, wish I had seen it earlier, I spent ages under the car filling it up

Thanks for the info

now brake bleeder what a bloody good idea, beats winding down a compressor.

I wonder how you'd go using one of these,

It'd put the oil in pretty quick I reckon

I would use this gizmo hand pump that is sitting in my shed if i could be bothered 2 change any oils, have used it once or twice ( years ago ) and works a treat.

I sort of borrowed it from an ex employer :) they didn't need it anyway *L*

great idea, found a sprayer during street clean up, will look at doing the mods, am sick of transfering oil into small bottles.

You got me sold, off to Bunnings i go, might even buy one to spray the weeds with. " Dam fine idea "

great idea ,, easy and cheap ,, i will make one for my self thanks

Use a weed sprayer as well, makes it really easy.
And less mess

the trick with thick oils is to fill a bucket or esky with hot water and put the unopened container of oil in let it heat up for a while ther oil will be thinner and easier to work with
