My manual said it would take 26oz to fill the LU. I just put in 32oz and its not full yet so I have to go buy another bottle. My question is when my bottle I was pumping out of got low air bubbles got in the line. I'm filling it from the bottom so is It going to cause a problem if some air bubbles get pumped in there?

Re: Filling LU with gear oil

the air bubbles will rise to the top of the gearbox and exit through the vent hole at the top. This will not be a problem. The gearbox is not a pressurized oil system, its an open splash system so air will not be in any lines or anything like that.
