Use a squeeze bottle with a long tube attached to it.

To much or insufficient gear oil will affect the engine performance. Always use specified SAE rating. Never use gear oil of different SAE rating. Using the wrong SAE may cause premature transmission components wear. Change gear oil at 1st 300km and then change at every 5000km. Add gear oil whenever it is necessary.

3.) After putting the right amount of gear oil, insert the squeeze bottle with the narrow tube pointing inside the Filler Bolt. Gentle squeeze the bottle's body until it's empty.

Squeeze the bottle's body gently to let the gear oil  in.
