[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 389365, member: 9937"] By all means you can. However if you do not take your time you will end up with air pockets in the lower unit, when this occurs and the air bubbles rise to the surface, overtime you'll end up with a low oil condition. If you do it an ounce at a time, you should be okay. Let it sit for up to 15 minutes counts. Filling from the bottom fills all orifices and pushes out all air creating a 100% filled lower unit or just go buy a six dollar lower unit oil pump and be done with it. It takes about two minutes with this pump. [/QUOTE]
