Can I fill my lower unit from the top?

Re: Can I fill my lower unit from the top?

RodC, next time you're in the hardware store, pick up a 3/8"-16TPI acorn nut. I just screw one of these over the L/U fitting, and the oil pump lives on the oil bottle and never gets cleaned or put away. The cap gets thrown away.<br /><br />And you've got to admit, they're a whole lot better than the squeeze bottles.

Well, I made my own pump from an empty soap bottle. I'm not cheap...I'm resourceful. <br /><br />

Actually it went alot quicker than I expected. I doubt a "real" pump would have gone any faster...
