What can I use to refill my transfer case fluid
I want to drain and fill the transfer case on my '01 expedition, 5.4l EB. Draining is no problem, but what I can use to refill it??
I need some sort of squeeze bottle............What do you recommend??
Thanks!

Be sure to remove the FILL plug BEFORE you drain the transfer case. Been more than one person drain the case then realize they couldn't get the fill plug out! 
I've tried various fill methods and now use the hand pump w/hose (mentioned above) that screws into the fluid bottle. Works great!

I will check WalMart for the hand pump. I don't remember seeing one, but I've never looked! Do you know who makes it?
Thanks for the advice on the fill plug. With my luck, I'd be one of those with a frozen plug. Didn't even cross my mind, thanks!

Some help. Go to the marine section of Walmart in sporting goods or parts store or boat shop. They make a pump that screws onto quart bottles for about 7 bucks. Even fancier is a drill pump that goes on cordless drill also a boat store item.
