i just changed my rear end fluid on my 16 Hellcat Challenger so I picked up this gear Oiler. It said fits most quart bottles. I can tell you it fits NO quart bottle I have ever seen. It is meant for the pump cylinder to fit in the bottle and screw to the lid. It does not come close to fitting in the opening of a standard quart gear fluid type bottle. I ended up squirting about half the bottle in by hand holding bottle parallel with opening using bottle squirt nipple. I then cut the top off the bottle and inserted the pump in bottle and pumped it in like that. Be careful it tips easy then you have a mess. I poured a bit from a second bottle into the cut bottle to top it off. Also you can pour in additive this way. You don’t have to cut second bottle either way. After using the pump it went right in the trash because it’s a piece of crap and who needs the mess? It was so cheap I guess it doesn’t matter. Would I use it again? Yes if that’s the only way and trash it again chaulking it up to price of a change. Anyone find a better Oiler or way to get fluid in the rear?

It fits all the Chinese bottles....

Not directed to OP - go ahead and get under that car with those Chinese jack stands. I'm sure everything will be fine.... I'm serious. There's probably a 1 in two million chance of a failure, but my old domestic stands probably have a 1 in 8 or 10 million risk factor. It really exercises me where this country has gone in the last 30 years.

EDIT - sorry for the rant
