Engine cowl off
Loosen drain bolt
Let oil run into some sort of pan. I did this task with the engine hot, to get as much of the old dirty oil out as possible.
Reinsert the drain plug. The filler plug is this shiny flat head screw.
With filler plug removed.
Yeah, unfortunately it's not going to be as easy as this video.
The filler tube is larger than the filler hole, so I'm going to have to jam a tiny funnel in there
And squeeze the bottle to push the new oil into the gearbox
Tighten up the filler plug and that's it.
It’s a good thing you had that tiny funnel handy, or it would’ve been one messy ordeal! Running it hot seems like a good idea to make it drain faster and help drag as much old oil out.

The syringe fill-up process is definitely the best way to go. I have gone about it the same way and it worked out just fine thus avoiding any slpash, drips or what not.
