The new design leaked out of the nozzle head... made a mess leaking down the bottle... oh well... diff. fluid now full.

Thanks... sorry if you didn't get a referral... I ordered from the Canadian Amazon site.

What can people recommend as a good pump to move the gear oil from the original container (lower position) into the front differential (higher position)? Please keep in mind I live in Canada so we don't have Harbor Freight. Thanks.
