Default Re: Oil transfer - recommendations?

I use a pressure setup-got tired of using the hand pump (as shown in the above post) while lying under jack stands. Made from a garden sprayer, some 3/8 tubing and a shut off valve, just pressurize it, put the hose end in the filler hole, and open the valve-works fine with 80-90W gear oil, not sure how 140 weight would be.
