Fluid Transfer

[Tony Prodigy]

Hi Gents.

I recently did the rear diff oil on another car I own and wanted to share some fluid transfer equipment I purchased to help make it a bit easier whilst under the car. I am also planning to drain and refill the manual transmission too, so having such equipment is almost necessary to have in such an event. My favourite is the Tom Thumb. A little pricey but worth every cent. The quality is outstanding and if you can afford to, buy one for each type of oil / fluid to avoid cross contamination. I have one for diff oil and one for the manual transmission (it uses ATF believe it or not). I'll have another set for the Aurion just to keep it vehicle specific.

The others are also very handy. One you can adapt straight to the product bottle.

Further to the previous batch of fluid transfer devices i happened to come across these on eBay and thought why not.

Excellent for those brake fluid siphoning moments when punishing the pistons back in the calipers and whatever other fluid removal situations require.

I got 3 different sizes, A 150 ml , A 250 ml and a 350 ml syringe. All came with an attachable catheter

They will also be ideal to use to top up a Century Maintenance Free Battery.

Shopping and browsing at my local Aldi Supermarket this evening.

Ended up buying a Workzone brand fluid transfer pump for $9.99
