I have a small "old style" oiling can; the kind with a handle and a thumb trigger pump. It has a very long and small spout. ( a 1/8" opening at the end). It is very easy to get it into tight spots and angles. I open the fill plug and just pump in what it takes to fill. Spillage is minimal if at all. The can I have is relatively new; I'm sure they can still be purchased.

I also use the same kind of can to fill the brake reservoir on my 300C.

The 300G is supposed to use HD brake fluid from the factory. I don't use it because of the mess it makes. I've always used power steering fluid in all my convertibles and never had a problem. I was told not to use the new ATF because it contains friction material which is not good for old seals.
