Changed the oil in the transmission, transfer case, and front/rear diffs on one of my trucks tonight, and need a better method. I used one of the transfer pumps listed below, but there has to be a better way and higher quality hand pump.

Any suggestions on a good transfer pump that will work with both quart and gallon gear oil jugs?

I use the Mityvac MV6844. It's great for pressure bleeding brakes and you can also turn it into a gear oil pump for filling transmissions and diffs. I am a DIN guy so I don't use it every day but so far I love it for the times I have used it.

For gear oil I use a 5 gallon pail & pail pumper. When the truck has a Dana 60 up front and a Dana 70 in the rear its easy to justify buying gear oil by the pail & a pail pumper.

I just looked at one of these:

I'm sure I can find 5 gallon buckets of 80w90, but my concern is having enough height to actually use the pump under vehicles. I'm using it under a MaxJax, so it may not be an issue...but I can't really tell how high the entire system would be by the time to you bolt it to the top of a 5 gallon bucket.

Hand pumps ****. I have a power steering pump from an engine job I did with a bolt welded into the end of the shaft (pulley removed), hose in the return side goes in the bucket/bottle of oil, hose from the pressure side goes in whatever you're filling and spin with a drill. I've pumped 75-140 gear oil with it before, gotta slow down but it'll push it.
