Product Information
Full details
The Loops 5L Transmission Oil Filling System is designed for professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable and efficient way to transfer oil into manual transmissions and differentials. Its key benefit is precise, mess-free oil delivery, thanks to its pump operation and built-in shut-off valve. A potential caveat is the 15psi maximum pressure, which is suitable for most automotive applications but may require specific handling for high-pressure systems. This system offers a 5-liter capacity, multiple adaptors for broad compatibility, and an integrated pressure gauge for control.

FAQs
What type of oil can be used with this filling system?
This system is suitable for most common transmission and differential oils, including gear oils and manual transmission fluids. Avoid using extremely viscous or non-standard fluids without consulting the product manual or manufacturer.
Can this system be used for automatic transmission fluid (ATF)?
While the system can pump ATF, it is primarily designed for the thicker viscosity of manual transmission and differential oils. For automatic transmissions, specific ATF filling adaptors might be required, and the pressure limitations should be considered.
How do I clean the system after use?
After emptying the reservoir, flush the system with a compatible cleaning solvent or fresh, light oil. Operate the pump to circulate the cleaner through the hoses and out. Finally, drain the cleaning fluid and wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth.
What is the maximum pressure this system can handle?
The system has a maximum pressure rating of 15 psi (1 bar), which is suitable for most automotive transmission and differential filling tasks.
How long is the flexible hose?
The flexible supply hose measures 1500mm (approximately 5 feet) in length.
Does the system come with all necessary adaptors?
The system includes a 400mm 100° hooked metal adaptor and a 1500mm flexible supply hose. Additional specialized adaptors may be available separately if needed for specific vehicle models.
Troubleshooting
Pump handle is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the reservoir is adequately filled. Check for any internal blockages in the pump mechanism or hoses. If the fluid is very cold and viscous, it may require warming slightly.
Fluid is not dispensing when pumping.
Verify that the fluid shut-off valve is open. Check that the intake line from the reservoir to the pump is submerged in fluid and not obstructed. Ensure the adaptors are properly sealed to the fill port and the hose.
Leaking from hose connections or adaptors.
Ensure all connections are securely tightened. If using a flexible hose, check for cracks or wear. Try a different adaptor if the current one does not provide a tight seal.
Pressure gauge not responding or showing inaccurate readings.
This may indicate an issue with the gauge mechanism. Ensure there are no blockages affecting pressure flow. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Efficient and precise oil transfer for transmissions and differentials.
- Large 5L capacity reduces the need for frequent refilling.
- Built-in shut-off valve helps prevent spills.
- Includes multiple adaptors for increased compatibility.
- Pressure gauge offers better control and safety during use.
Cons
- Maximum pressure of 15psi may not be suitable for all specialized applications.
- Requires manual pumping, which can be time-consuming for very large volumes.
- Adaptors may require careful selection to ensure a perfect fit for all fill ports.
- Primarily designed for manual transmission and differential use; not for automatic transmissions without specific adaptors.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Open the fill cap on the 5L reservoir.
- Insert the desired transmission fluid.
- Securely close the fill cap.
- Attach the appropriate metal or flexible hose adaptor to the output nozzle.
- Connect the adaptor to the vehicle's fill port.
- Operate the pump handle to dispense fluid.
Compatibility:
This system is designed for use with various manual transmissions and differentials. The included 100° hooked metal adaptor (400mm) and the 1500mm flexible supply hose offer broad compatibility with common fill port designs. Always ensure the selected adaptor creates a snug fit to prevent leaks.
Care:
- After each use, empty any remaining fluid from the reservoir.
- Clean the reservoir and hoses with an appropriate solvent if switching fluid types, or with soap and water if flushing.
- Wipe down the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.
- Store the unit in a clean, dry place, preferably with the hoses coiled neatly to prevent kinks.
