Hello Robin, I guess you've been on this forum long enough to know that there's been extensive discussion of A7 lubrication over the years!
FWIW I've always used a squirt type oil can with a piece of clear plastic tubing as an extension for getting in to difficult to access fillers on other makes. I've also warmed the oil by sitting the filled oilcan in a pail of boiling water before starting the operation to reduce the viscosity of the SAE 140 which will minimise the thumb pressure required to operate the oilcan. I'm not sure whether this would work on an A7, I have a much larger Austin and I can get the job done with a regular oil syringe.
