I had an empty diff oil bottle that was one litre with a tube about 6 inches long on it. Fill the bottle with desired oil and attatch a low pressure air line to it. (that bit is important) Use a regulator wound right down or a 4X4 air compressor with an on off switch might be alright also. This worked really well. I liked Numptys idea of the garden spray bottle. Long term though I think the rubber seals will wear. I use one that I fill with Diesel to light bonfires with. But after a year of use it leaks badly as I assume the diesel has deteriotated (Spelling? Wheres Ron when You need him) the seals. But I no complain . The sprayer cost about $9.00.

Still be careful, I used to do this until a container overpresurised and blew apart covering me and the underside of the car and driveway in gearbox oil.

Good call. To totally fool proof it maybe I need a pressure release valve on the bottle!. Numpty was on a winner I reckon with the garden sprayer.

Tom Thumb pump is best for small jobs but I use a 20ltr drum pump on the hoist at work, I dont like doing things the hard way ;)

yeah but what will he use for the oil lol

From the sounds of everybody's hassles if I tried doing this job, an enema will not be necessary. It would be something to use instead of an enema.

James,
best I have found is to buy fluids in 20lt containers / drums and use a 20 litre drum pump, fast and not messy.
