    that is only half lazy. Piece of tubing into jug of oil and let gravity do the job. Learned this on a garden tractor that had a diff filler hole with very limited access.

    That magnet looks great. Clean it off, fill with fresh fluid and get you another load lined up.

    I once drove about 100 miles with a transmission full of diesel. Broke a cooler hose so I bypassed the cooler filled it with diesel and was on my way. That was 40 years ago and diesel was a little slippery than now.

    Your log truck friend sounds like an old man.

    Well he’s lived out in a mountain town with a population of 1,100 and has been a logger all his life. I’m sure he’s done it before.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    Until I switched to Wal Mart Supertech oil I hand pumped two 5 gallon buckets of oil every time I changed the oil in my truck for several years. It's not that bad.

    Apparently you haven’t learned the “Honey, I need a hand for a minute cuz my arms are toshort to watch the level and pump the oil trick”. Try to keep a straight face when she says “is there even any (bleeping) oil coming out.
