I suggest go to a marine store and buy one of the little manual pumps for
adding oil to the lower unit of outboards. It replaces the cap of standard
gear oil containers and has a short length of flexible hose that lets you
pump "up". Great for diffs, trannys, etc. where you're forced to work from
below.. Cost is less than 10 bucks.
