I dont mean the dipstick hole, that would be to full, What i meant was the fill hole under the cover for the linkage. This would be the same hole that Don S is putting the modified funnel.

Re: Chang oil in volvo 270 outdrive

what I use is the little funnel shaped cap from a seastar fill system and a qt oil bottle. if you squezze the bottle it will inject the oil, when you unsqueeze it it will draw air out. but you must always be aware of the amount of oil you have replaced and start carefully checking the level as you near the capacity. some folks also remove the oil passage bolt on the fwd stbd corner of the upper bearing housing. I really cant think of a time when GL5 75w-90 flows easier than 30 wt. here in the salt pond I get nervous pulling the cover on boats I dont normally service or have not been serviced in a year or so and have been overboard.<br /> but I am well aquated with the whatdiicomeinherefor thang :) :) <br /> aint nothing like climbing down the ladder, walk 100 yds to the shop just to stand in front of the tool box wondering why.

Live with that one myself. Here we call it CRS. But for the life of me, I can't remember what those 3 letters stand for.
