I bought one bottle of FD oil from BMW dealer. Used it, kept bottle and now refill bottle from less expensive bulk. All pre-measured per BMW specs and has a tapered tip for sticking in fill port.

 

Large animal feeding / irrigation syringes. Usually calibrated in CCs and you can throw a piece of tygon tubing on the end if you need longer access. Available at just about any pet store or tons of on-line industrial places.

 

+1 on a large syringe from a farm supply store. 50 or 25cc, mark off how many times you fill it so you don’t lose track. Add a piece of clear tubing to give enough reach into the drive.

 

Personally I use a small animal water bottle that I removed the BB from the spout. The 1st time i used it I measured out 180cc’s of water, filled the bottle and marked the level with a sharpie. Noe I just fill to the 180cc line ALS tree on the lid and insert the nozzle in the fill opening and let the oil drain in.

Hair dye bottle is the same only easier say the have an angles nozzle and usually have graduations cast into the side of the bottle for easy measuring

Update: Quickly looking at WalMart.com some small animal water bottles also have graduations on the side.

 

I use a 200 mil syringe from amazon. I put 180 mil in it and slowly squeeze it into the fill hole.

My experience with syringes is you have to be very careful with the amount of force you use to inject the oil as its easy to get splash back if you try to get the oil in too fast. You also have to clean the syringe really well with soap and water to remove the oil off the rubber seal on the plunger or it gets soft and mushy and will pull off the end of the plunger when you go to draw oil into the syringe.

The bottle with a angled nozzle has worked the best for me. I prefer the metal nozzle so I can insert the nozzle into the fill opening rotate the rear wheel until the hub hold the bottle in place I then let it slowly drizzle in as I move onto another task. Or on the latter wetheads just lean the bottle against the tire and walk away.

 

You could use "squeeze bottles " that we use in restaurants.

 

Yup.....that's how roll and it works perfect.

 

Was able to pick a suitable bottle up at Lowe’s.
They call it a

0.066-Gallon Clear Plastic Traditional Watering Can

It has graduations and worked great without any spilling. It can be used right side up or upside down (with the inner tube easily removed).

 

I use a hair dye bottle like the one on the right in the picture.

 

 

All these other options leave you still measuring...

 

For me I measured once and then marked the bottle and now just refill to a match mark. Very easy with repeatable results. If I have a bottle with graduations cast into the side it would be just as easy, fill to 180ml.

Isn't the BMW bottle 7oz/200ml or 120ml too much? How full is the 7oz bottle when it has 180ml in it? To know that you'd have had to either take out 127 ml from full and note the level or add 180ml from empty and note the level . Either way in some shape way or form you'd have had to "measure".
