I use Dextron (ATF) too. Rather than toting around that big assed
bottle, I retired an Elmer's glue bottle (4oz. squeeze variety),
washed it out and filled it with the oil. The orange twist cap does a
great job keeping the fluid in and is excellent for metering out just
enough in the right place to fill the dash pots...
