Changing Transmission and Differntial Oil

I've seen several methods and products people use for these procedures but which method would you guys say is the most efficient? I'd much prefer to purchase a product rather than craft something. Thanks guys!

I assume you mean to pump the new oil in...you can get a hand pump at a local parts store. Tell the clerk what you are wanting to do and they will be able to show you the right tool.

I used a siphon (sp?) pump to change the transmission and diff oil on my last car. You can get them at any auto parts store for $10-30 usually.

Just make sure you get one that will work with oil. Some only can do water/gas.

i know it does not say oil, but i used this for my differential. it sucks up the entire bottle in 2 pumps. liquid is liquid the pump cannot decipher between water/gas vs. oil.
