Oils Well

So doing the fall service on my better halfs jeep the other day  you know checking this and that , rotating tires , lubing the old chassis .

Once I had it up on the stands it was fairly easy to get to most items --  Like front diff. U-Joints, transfer case, tranny and rear diff. ( Mental note here : Not all the same check bolts)    

After like 4-5 times up-down and under , you know cause the wrench don’t fit, the wrong socket -- need the extension, OH YEA My absolute favorite -- 1 pump left in the grease gun LOL ( there will be a whole page on this later ) . Finally down to the last check , the transmission. Need longer fingers cause its low , my big tranny pump will not reach as it is just parked right -- AND I have not restocked with the new AMSOIL Packets ( Product page here ) for tranny oil -- SOOOO quick check , oil CHECK , hose top CHECK -- HOSE --- CHECK  and there you have it the 1l bottle and hose trick .

Now anyone that has done this knows that there are only 2 positions that this works with and one of them requires rock crushing hand strength from the bottom, you know where you can squeeze the jug to nothing with one hand -- For the record , not me . So the next would be the over the hole and let gravity do what it does best, of course helping with HE-MAN strength jug squeezing. The hose fit nicely over the spout and thinking ahead , you know cause I do that, grab 2 l of oil and under I go.

And, for the record, I have done this more than once or twice so easy peasy right -- WELL first ½ jug no issue but better check , pull the hose out and nope still no sign of oil that I can reach ?? OK add more , just as I squeeze the bottle the hose decides it needs to go it’s separate way and lets said oil stream out in the direction of right eye and side of face -- MOUTH closed -- My bad did not check hose attachment .. Install hose with a tad ( technical term you know ) more force than the first attempt. Finish first jug hook up second jug and away we go .. You know with a fresh jug you can REALLY get ahold of it and SQUEEZE --- A little different angle gave me that extra bit O grunt that is required to send hose north and oil south -- at an alarming rate I might add , Both eyes face and partial mouthwash head bang and mechanical vocabulary . And now hose will not stay on as it has been freed and enjoys it!

Very long story short -- Finished said check up in under flat rate time as long as you do not count the tranny top up LOL 

Jeep is ready to roll for winter.

Do hope you enjoy the Tails from the shop  more to come -- Keep smiling all
