Adding fluid to the tilt reservoir - what do you use?

I took the filler cap off the tilt/trim reservoir today and I see that the hole for the oil to go in is pretty tiny. I presume this is becuase the Honda fluid comes with the correct filler tube. I'm using Dexron ATF so what do you use to top up the reservoir, tube, syringe?
 
Dexron III ATF and I used a syringe to get it in.
You need to power tilt to the max, then open cap add fluid, then close cap and lower using a screwdriver inserted into the valve on the side.
let it sit for 30 minutes to get the air bubbles to the top and keep repeating using the above method until you can't get any more fluid in.
 
Thanks guys, I'm back to the boat on monday for hopefully about 4-5 weeks solid. I'm armed with a new O2 sensor, 14mm spanner, ATF and a couple of syringes with very thin tubes - think I'm ready to go! Just need the UK weather to play ball - stupid jetstream :(
