Easiest way to get oil in ur NV4500

Guys,

what is the easiest way? I like using those little siphon pumps with hoses on both ends, BUT they keep busting on me after the first or second use..

Does anyone know any other easier way?

Thanks guys!

Rick

I have a Mity-Vac, it swaped the tranny fluid for me, and flushed my brake system, and is holding up fine. I have the plastic one, but they also make a metal version.

Piece of clear hose stuck to a funnel, and lots of patience.

I buy my Syntorx in gallon jugs here http://www.standardtransmission.com/dodge.html

This $6 pump is designed for pumping thick anti-flat tire sealing gel, easily pumps even 90w and screws right on to the top of most all gallon jugs, does about half a cup per stroke. Been using the same pump for at least seven years on differentials, transfer cases and trannies.

The hand transfer pumps from the autoparts are a pain to clean out and if you aren't watching out easily tip over the container you're pumping out of making an expensive mess.

I with you Rick, patience is a quality I greatly admire, but don't possess much of
