An aircraft engine oil filler apparatus includes a filler tube configured to be connected to an oil tank such that a bottom portion of the filler tube is disposed inside the oil tank, a valve received in the bottom portion of the filler tube movable between an open position in which the valve hydraulically connects the filler tube to the oil tank, and a closed position in which the valve hydraulically disconnects the filler tube from the oil tank, and a float disposed above the valve and operatively connected to the valve to move the valve from the open position to the closed position when oil inside the oil tank rises to a threshold level. The valve is movable independently from the float when pressure in the oil tank is greater than pressure in the filler tube. A method of operation of an oil filler apparatus is also described.
