[QUOTE=kmartin;615460]Well, today the day i changed the fluid in my transfer case, but didn't go not so good. Sucks. First called the dealer and he told me the autotrac ii is $8.99 quart. Went to buy and they wanted to charge me more, like $10.50. I told them this is what he told me this week and he gave that price to me. Although still expensive and understand that some people in this forum don't want to lose a drop, well I figured that won't happen today and lost quite many of drops. Someone tell me how you can do this without losing a drop.

I bought what swartlkk recommended, Flotool 10106 spout great tool but don't understand how to use it in this application. Plus, the spout is not long enough to go in my transfer case hole, causing some of my first drops to be lost. So I went to Advance Auto for the Performance Tools Fluid Oil Pump W1139: Shop the best Gear Oil Pump at Advance Auto Parts in Captains Hook recommendation. It was only great for the first couple of pumps and started oozing fluid out of the pump. What a piece of junk.

Ok, I ran out of time so I will finish. Yes, Captain Hook I did take it back, got a refund because I didn't trust getting another one. I went to my local hardware store and got this: Plews 1-Qt. Lubrimatic Fluid Pump and it worked. Look almost like it, could of been made in the same place. So got the fluid in my vehicle. And a mess. I think maybe next time I let it to a mechanic with strict orders to use Autotrak ii and maybe even get some for them. Even though I lost some of that expensive stuff, it was still cheaper than a mechanic, or quick lube doing it.

I just use the plastic quarts with the pointed top like a lucus bottle and squeeze the crap out of them
