The creator tried funnels and a hand pump before landing on a battery-powered transfer pump from Harbor Freight, and explains how he estimated fill volume by timing the pump's flow rate. Useful specifically for 2515H owners tackling this service themselves.
Posted by The BoneStead channel, appearing to be an owner-operator sharing a firsthand workaround from their own maintenance experience.
The creator used a battery powered transfer pump from Harbor Freight to pour fluid into the hard-to-reach fill port, which was much easier than funnels or a hand pump.
He estimated by time since the pump flows six quarts per minute, timing roughly two minutes past the first gallon for each additional amount added.
The orange port is where you put the fluid in, and the yellow port is where you check the dipstick.
