I was wonderind if there is a trick or hint someone could give me on putting the new oil in. I tried usind a snake funnel but it still took like 30 min. per quart.

Get the screw on tip like what comes with 90 weight gear oil and then you can just squeeze it in. Requires much less time.

I prop mine up with a board vertical under the foot peg. It tips the quad enough so the filler hole is level and a small funnel will sit decent.

I do the same thing to tip the quad so the engine oil drain pours without running all over the frame and my belly skid.
