Best hand pump to use for gear oils
Hi All,
I'm planning to change the gear oil in the rear diff, transfer case and front diff in my 3rd generation 4Runner 4wd. I already saw the tech sheet on how to do this.
My question is, what's the best gear oil pump to use. I kinda checked the other posts and saw a suggestion to get a siphon pump from griot's garage. Are there others out there that know of a better one? Are there electric ones that will make it easier? Brand and where to find it? Want to get this pump sometime soon and do the maintenance in a few weeks. Help please.
Thanks all.
El.

Alright, I'm a rookie, the more I look around this site the more I see options. I'm opting to get the drill powered pump that you connect your own hoses to from sears.

AFter seeing it, seems kinda hard to want anything else. looks like this will do the trick for that darn front diff fill hole.
Any others?

Why go so high tech? Save your money and get a $4.99 hand pump from NAPA auto parts. I just changed the diff oil in my own truck two days ago, and this simple and cheap pump worked just fine.....no messing around with a drill or plugging anything in.

if you have an air compressor, just pop a hole in the bottom of the bottle and insert the air tip and then sitck the bottle spout in the fill hole and apply a light steady pressure to it and it will fill the diff. you can also rig up a hose and stick the hose into the fill hole then you have more room to work from.
there's a link somewhere that has that idea illustrated,

I must be the lowest tech of all...I attached a hose to the nozzle on the gear oil container...Superglued it. Then lift the gear oil bottle (opening down) up higher than the hole you're putting it into and squeeze it in.
I bought a pump, but it wouldn't fit my gear oil bottles.
