That's a neat idea. I'll try it next time.

I've heard that when you push the hose inside the fill hole, you should aim it towards the front of the car because that'll get you to the higher point inside the pan?

What's the idea behind starting the car? Does the transmission build up hydraulic pressure inside the gear box when the car is on?
