    I used Redline MT-LV 70w75 that only comes in a quart and it did take a little more than that.. I just filled my gear oil bottle with it and put a short clear hose on the end, basiclly the same. It worked perfectly. I did need a fluid pump to fill the front diff.

    Did you pull the cool spout straw out of the bottle? I was able to empty it and get some flow out of the fill hole.

    If fully extended like that he should be able to empty the bottle. That is about the length of tubing I added to my empty gear oil bottle to fill up with MT-LV. In fact that bottle with the straw is so nice I may have to use Ravnol next time.

    The internal straw is amazing on the Ravenol bottles. Some people say they can't get all the fluid out but I was able to get damn near everything with it.

    Just needed a tiny bit from a second bottle to get fluid to dribble from the fill hole. It probably would've been fine without the additional fluid anyhow.

    I think that was my problem. I couldn’t extend the base cylinders of the straw that far. It must have caused a blockage for the last few tea spoons IMG_0361.jpg

    If I recall correctly, I had to wiggle that portion up and out of the bottle.

    I've done my T case twice now. 1L is the perfect amount for me. Just the slightest dribble out after draining the containers.
