Why don’t you like putting fluid in the bleeder when bleeding brakes? It’s designed like that to make it super easy. You just made it harder.
Matter of opinion.. I prefer to not have to worry about cleaning the tank or contaminating the fluid on the next flush. I've done it both ways and prefer filling the master. Once done I just put everything away and it's still clean..

How can the fluid get contaminated? It’s under pressure and can only flow into the reservoir, not the other way around. It’s nice to be able to add a quart (or more) of fluid to the Motiv and not have to worry about it even flushing all 4 wheels. It’s easy to just pour it back into the container afterwards and wipe the inside out. But yes each to their own as you say. Also don’t you lose the pressure in the master when you disconnect the Motiv? Seems air would start moving backwards in the lines when that happens.

Fan speed resistor decided to quit its job on Turkey Day. Had speeds 1-5 the night before. Next morning, only thing that worked was speed 5. :rage:

You are supposed to dispose of the old fluid, brake fluid attracts moisture which is why you don't just empty the container. You are supposed to flush it with denatured alcohol or something. Again something else I have to make sure I keep handy. The way mime is setup I can disconnect the line from the master cylinder and keep the bottle pressurized...add fluid and reconnect..

Pic for reference under pressure and not connected. I also don't have to fight with the lid to depressurize the tank and no chance of bugs finding their way into to bottle either..
