That's literally exactly what you're implying.

I did a UOA on a BMW X5 with the nearly identical zf 6hp transmission. It was the factory fluid at 120kmi. Wasn't pretty. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/120kmi-factory-fill-atf-zf-6hp28x-2013-bmw-x5-35d.324586/

"Produces bends in strip up to 2" wide and in round and square stock up to 5/8" " I don't think this is meant to bend exhaust tubing. Just small round and square stock.

2013 BMW X5 35d twin turbo diesel 120kmi Report is from the factory fill ATF Transmission is a ZF 6hp28x BMW says that you never need to change the fluid, though ZF later made a recommendation of 60kmi OCI's. The results are not pretty.

The Mann oil filter for my X5 takes very considerable force to put onto the filter housing mount. Enough that I was concerned about it's integrity. Hengst filter installs without issue.

Not sure why everyone is hating on this idea, this method works great for differential and transmission fill ports that are impossible to fill with a normal funnel.
