[DeTomaso] Any reason to not lay a ZF on it's side to add oil?

[Ken Green]

Mike,
 
   Ya, but it will be so easy to just stick the nose of the oil bottle in the fill hole and let it fill while I do something else.  I plan to fill it maybe 90 percent and top it off when it's in the car.  
 
    It's dry from a rebuild so it will need a compete fill.  I don't have to worry about residual oil from draining it in the car. 
 
    BTW, Amazon has a good price on Mobil 1 LS gear oil, $11.44 and shipped free.  And I did ask Lloyd about using Mobile 1.  He said it may leak some, but that was the only down side.

Or get a funnel with a flexible neck and fill till it dribbles.  That way
you have something you can use when the ZF is in the car, and you won't risk
loosing a lot of expensive gear oil when you tip it back up and find there
is too much.

The ZF is out and soon to be installed, Seems easy to add the oil this way?
