Several years ago Chevron changed the opening of their oil and ATF quarts from the standard 1" diameter to a larger 1.25" diameter.
This created a problem when filling transfer cases with ATF as I have a thread on shutoff valve (auto parts store bought plastic piece like Blitz or Hopkins brand or something similar) with a hose that goes into the fill hose and I can hold the quart horizontal and squeeze the fluid into the t-case. Or, I can use the top cone cap found on gear oil containers, put it onto the ATF and squeeze it all in, but this too only fits 1" diameter quarters, not the larger opening.
For the last couple of years I have been pouring new ATF from the larger opening quart into some old quarts I have with the smaller opening so I could add fluid the way I described.
But this seems silly, I can't find a thread on "tool" for the larger 1-1/4" diameter opening, I've seen some other oils other than Chevron use this larger size, but all the thread on plastic spout things only fit the smaller 1" diameter quart container.
I have a close local Chevron distributor run by a friend I graduated with that I like to support, so I suppose I want to keep buying Chevron products, but would very much like a solution to this issue.
Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks!
