This seems like a good idea. Anyone try this?
Gravity fill? NO WAY. I have to charge by the clock and people would hate me... and there is no way to drain except by gravity, pull the plug and the stand pipe with an 8mm allen socket.
There is an easy tool we copied. I can't tell you who we copied, but we appreciate SIMPLE. We bought a fill plug for the DSG, drilled a hole into it to install a brass union nipple, about 3/8". We split the union and installed the other half into a cap from one of the DSG oil bottles I think we stiffened up the union connection with a piece of hard plastic, fit inside the lid. We used the ever famous, good for too many things to not own some, JB Weld, to affix the two ends into the cap and the drilled out plug.
The operation is to screw in the drilled plug contraption into the transmission , stick a full bottle onto the modified lid, punch a hole into the bottom of the oil bottle (while it is inverted) and put air pressure to it with an air chuck. The oil blows into the tranny in less than 10 seconds. Repeat with additional bottles until it drains back from the stand pipe. Start engine, finish with about another bottle. Remove fill tool and install drain plug. It usually take us about 5-10 minutes to fill the DSG tranny with our redneck tool.
I'm WAY to impatient to wait for oil to drip into the filter housing.
As an alternative, I've thought of using a 1 gallon pump-up weed sprayer bottle with the altered DSG plug installed on the end of the spray arm, but what I've got works plenty well with little expense or issue.
