Hello! I just did a oil change on my bravo 2 outdrive. I have never owned a boat with a inboard + outdrive before so just unscrewed the button screw, top vent screw and then let it pour out until it didn't come anymore oil. I then pumped in the new oil until it started pouring out from the top screw and then screwed back both screws. However after googling a bit when I got home I noticed that there is this oil reservoir that I didn't think of so I didn't pump until oil started to appear there. When I was done I threw away the pump as it was this cheap one time use pump and didn't think more of it.
So my question is, can I pour the remaining oil directly in to the reservoir now or do I need to buy a new pump and keep pumping from the bottom? I guess it would create some air pockets but that would clear when I run it and I can keep refilling until it's at a steady level, right?
