How to get ATF in leading spark plug hole ?
 
Last ditch effort to try to move my 7 to the shop thats 2 hours away to get the rebuild.

I can't seem to get anything to fit to actually get the stuff in.

Ideas ? I have PS if that helps

I just use a normal flexible plastic tubing from the autopart store.
It was the same size as the sparkplug so it fits in nicely for when I pour in oil to deflood.
something like this

A real man just pours some into his mouth and spits it into the hole.

go to the pharmacy and ask for childrens medicine syringe. its for measuring out they're medicine they give them out with all infant prescription

you can shove a vacuum line on the end makes it nice and easy

I use gear oil. Just take a vacuum hose and slide it over the pointy top of the gear oil bottle and give a little squeeze.

^This is the EASIEST and most effective way.

I use regular engine oil. There are skeptics that believe ATF will eat the rubber seals inside a rotary, and I can somewhat believe it after seeing how petroleum jelly swelled my coolant seals (which BTW is what the FSM says to use to install them). Take the cap off a gear oil bottle and put it on an oil bottle, most of them are compatible. Engine oil is thinner, so it'll go through the vacuum tube easier, builds compression like a champ. I generally use the vacuum line going to the pressure sensor on the passenger's side strut tower.

turkey baster.

Go get your Flu shot and ask to keep the syringe!

Used fish tank tube and gear oil bottle with nozzle. Worked and got the girl running with a bit of oil. But there was a huge cloud, the kids in the highschool across the street were impressed lol.

Now just trying to figure out why she won't crank which is in my other thread.
