You'll need to 'step down' the diameter of the 5/8" hose to something narrower to get the tube into fill hole. I just used a smaller tube and wrapped it with electrical tape to get a snug fit.

- Race Ramps makes it a helluva lot faster
I know I did this a while back, but can't remember exactly what I used. I'm quite sure that it was redline cocktail. Would it be ok so switch to amsoil now or should I stick with the cocktail?
