I plan to replace the gear box oil in my 93 Disco with Dextron ATF as it has normal EP90 in it at the moment. Has anyone tried using a garden spray pump to fill the box instead of trying the daft bit of plastic tube that comes on the ATF bottle??? :shock:

I got a UMETA 1 Litre Oil and Fluid Transfer Pump from Difflock when I did my oil changes (gearbox & transfer box).

Considering where the filler holes are, I found it very useful!

I did it once using an old washing-up liquid bottle, suitably cleaned. Fill with a funnel then squirt; repeat many times. It took quite a while, so I got an oil syringe, which makes life much easier altogether.

This sort of thing:
Machine Mart Oil Suction Gun
Screwfix Oil Suction Gun

You can make one from an old mechanical fuel pump (think Ford, not Rover).

I ended up going the machine mart way. One with Ep90 and the other with ATF. It makes life nice and easy.

Couple of squirty ketchup containers, job done

I think it depends on whether you are laying on your back, or have the luxury of a pit/ramp

I found the pump to be worth the money as it holds a lot, which reduces the number of times you have to shuffle in and out from under the car!
