Well, I don't use the bottle to fill the diff's, I have a special tool for that.
Most new vehicles do not have the room to get a bottle in there to fill it anyways.
Unless it's the rear axle on a truck.
But I can see how it would be easier to get a bag into tight spots.
I am considering storage issues.
A bottle is more puncture resistance and will stand up and store better than a plastic bag.
Would you store that bag of oil in your truck behind the seat with a bunch of other stuff like a regular plastic bottle of oil?
I don't think I would. lol
Had my transmission serviced yesterday... and today.
Got a call about 30 minutes after I got home yesterday. The service manager was looking over the days jobs and noticed the tech listed the wrong type of fluid on my work order.
He used Mercon LV in my 2019 10R80 transmission. Supposed to use Mercon ULV.
So instead of writing it off as a possible error on the tech's part they had me come back in so they could flush the fluid out and fill it with the proper type.
They also updated the transmission control module. It was shifting erratically a lot lately.
I'll say this... it sure does shift smoother now.

I haven’t kept a bottle of auto fluids in my vehicle since I sold my 1983 S10 but now every gas station sells oil.
but if I was to, yes, I would keep one of those in my vehicle just the same as the harder plastic bottles.
But I don’t see them as a replacement, I think they mainly come in gear and transmission oil to be used in places where a pump or something would be mandatory…way less mess to using this versus a pump
After sitting on these emblems for over a year now I finally made the switch. These are OEM SE emblems, not knock offs. I also did the tailgate, but I think I’m taking the emblem off and adding a blackout stripe across the middle instead. I removed the Ecoboost emblems off the doors and will leave them bare.
Slowly, things are getting done…

I added Smartie Customs fender emblems and front and rear badges to my 16. Look awesome. Then I realized how much easier it is to dent these aluminum panels than my 07. Guess I pushed a bit too hard with the rubber adhesive remover bit on my drill...and promptly had to go see a dent removal tech!
Lubed my rear end today. 80,000 miles, no leaks, found the the factory fill was down by a quart! Took 2.5 qts. to the bottom of the fill hole.
You don't have your vehicle listed in your signature so I don't know if this was an error on your part, or your truck uses 75W-90. Ford specs mine for 75W-85. Expensive stuff for sure. I also found my differential to be low. Over a quart if I figures right. The volume is listed at 7.5 pints, so 2 pints low is significant. Maybe everyone needs to check this out. You wouldn't run your crankcase 1.5 quarts low!

2015 F150 8.8 HD 355 gear. I think as long as it’s synthetic you’re good. Some are running 75W140 with no problems. I believe the 8.8 capacity is 5.5 pints. (2.5 qts.)
