I run Amsoil gear oil now but the honda stuff i ran came in a black bottle.

there is nothing to changing the oil. use new crush washers, and only fill it until it comes out of the overflow.

its a soft washer that (crushes) to seal oil in i wouldnt do the just fill it technique look in ur manual and get a cookin measuring cup and dump it in from that
