I just filled my diff last weekend. If you buy two quarts of oil in the
standard bottles with the pointed spout, you can do it with no other
gimmicks. Start squeezing it in, you only get the bottle about half
empty. Then use the second bottle until it is half empty and pour the
remainder back into the first bottle. This one is now full enough to
complete the operation.

Wait, I think I used the sig file for the wrong list...too late (^x)
