I think the suggestion to have a small oil can filled with shock absorber fluid is the right answer. Something with a snout that goes into the filler hole past the lip where the bubble forms. Then fill until the fluid just starts to run out of the filler hole. clem

BTW, what is shock absorber fluid?
Look in the front of the green book (28-48 parts book) where the body polish, etc is and you will see 8A-19541-A shock absorber fluid (M-4633-C). It is castor oil and it does not mix with motor oil.
