First, did you try it to see if it works? I've never had to add oil to any cylinder either.

I never had to ad oil to my cherry picker but to bottle jacks. The rubber plugs are difficult to get in but I have used a small screw driver to work it in. I have also lost the rubber plug upon removal , bing and it was gone forever. The duct tap method was used and has been on for years.

Harbor Freight sells an engine support bar, I have used mine for shimming motor mounts, header installs, FWD car timing belt jobs, evn FWD clutch jobs (it can even help put the FWD trans back in while still supporting the eng)

Even my complete front end detail/rebuild.... look Ma "No K frame"

i whipped up an engine support bar from a chunk of "unistrut", that generic 1 1/2" or so square tube with one open side and all the slotted 1/2" or so holes in the opposing side. works great, is cheap, readily available at almost any hardware store and home improvement centers, and support ends and hooks are easy to come up with. unfortunately, i don't have any pics of it in use.

Yes I did! Because of that I ended up reading the instructions which states, "Hyrdaulic Oil Not Included."

The instructions didn't even refer that the plug was the fill hole.

I got hair plugs. Pretty successful. Use the Bosley Method.
