And when I overhauled two M33 during the past year, I went to the farm
store and bought a couple different sized horse syringes.  You can pack
the Red N Tacky into one of these syringes and get it right down into
the machine, right where you need it.

A smaller syringe also worked great to dispense the 3-in-1 "large motor"
oil where it was just too tight to fit their blue and white bottle into
the machine.

Anybody can buy these syringes without any sort of prescription or
anything... and they were real cheap.  Four or five in a pack for a
couple bucks.  Various gauge needles were then sold seperately for about
a buck each.
