$3.79 at Advance Auto.


oil


Topping off the oil has always been somewhat of a pain, trying not to get drips on the swingarm or floor. This will be nice. It has an adapter for both small and large mouth bottles. I like it.

That will work well for getting oil into the gearbox from the primary chain inspection cover

I've been using those for a few years now. I have one that I use for engine oil only, and one for Trans oil.
Pete; that's how I fill my Primary. The nice part is that the primary takes a quart, so I can just dump the whole bottle in without much fuss.

well now it looks like I'm going to have to go to Advance Auto to get one of those! I've been using a small funnel but it's a pain in the ass. This looks like it will help. Thanks for the post!

cool neat idea, thanks! I've been using the small 12oz Coke bottles for on-the-road topping off. There's enough for two shots with no spillage. Also serves as something to put a few wraps of duct tape so I don't have to carry a whole roll.

I picked one of those up at Walmart years back. We used it to top off oil in Waverunners and snowmobiles as you had to put in oil on every fill up.

The cool part is that the yellow section twists and shuts off the flow of oil. Keep dumping till you see it topping off and twist to stop it dead. The cap keeps the oil from messing up locations that the bottle is stored.

Nice fix for a common issue.
