It's a PITA to do cause you need a rubber hose and funnel cause the fill hole is in such an awful spot, any recommendations?

I think you just mentioned the best way. You put a hose on a funnel and put the hose in the hole for the fluid. When Alan and I did his the plastic tube was not very long so the funnel sat in his wheel well. So the car was jacked up on passenger side. I don't think you have to do this if you have a long enough hose. Also the oil takes forever to flor in.

just buy a hose, they sell them at auto parts stores, they screw right onto the top of the oil contanier, and mine has a thing where i twist it and it closes..btw if u poke a small hole into the bottom of the oil container, it helps the slow flow, you know gives air an escape ..peace

Theres a cool pump you can buy at the autopart store, it hooks up to the top of the oil container and has a long hose. All you have to do is pump, might even be a cleaner way too.
