Doing a drain and fill of diffs and transmissionfer case on my truck today using Amsoil products. I have to say that who ever invented the squeezable 1 quart bags for diff & transmission fluid should have won the nobel prize. It's a game changer!
I needed these a long time ago. I kept one bag and refill with my favorite flavor. On my Jeep Grand Cherokee I had to attach a little segment of tubing to reach. Guess what? It worked and it was marvelous.
Are these noticeably more expensive to produce? If someone like SuperTech would bring them to the common man, it'd be like when flat screen TVs became affordable for all. Can I tag Walmart on this forum?
I'm cheap and refuse to pay the premium, but I also prefer a 5 gal bucket with pump and I'm pretty much always standing under the vehicle being serviced.
Don't put an open one on the front of a shelf with nothing around it. I sat one up there one day, it was one I'd refilled, so it was mostly full. After a few days it had shifted just enough to fall off the shelf, on to the floor, top popped off, and I was cleaning up about 1/2 quart of stinky slippery gear lube off the garage floor.
While they may be easy to use they are also easy to drain all over your shelf or storage tub. Needs to be a positive way of sealing a half used container.
They are also slightly more expensive. I typically have my local Indy mechanic change the gear oil so I buy the regular container assuming he has a pump or something.
I'm going to try them next time. I'm tired of putting a small hose on the end of a bottle and squeezing until it pops off and I have gear oil running down my arm and all over the floor.
