I go to a store called Fleet Farm. They have a pump that screws onto fluid containers and pumps the fluid right in. Cheap and fast. I'm sure you could find these pumps in many other farm / industrial and many auto parts stores as well.

Similar to this except instead of a dispensor nozzle it has a hose http://www.organickingdom.com/-p-3711.html

Heres one that looks like it but it's made for mixing gas and oil

Also check out the "siphon pump kit" in the upper right corner of this page for ultra cheap

Lubrimatic makes a pump which screws onto the gear oil containers and works great.

I've had mine for years, but seen it recently at either AutoZone or NAPA.

I wish I knew the one we use at work, but it hooks up to a drill for power, and it pumps quick.
Little black pump. I think Grainger or MSC sell it.

.....advance auto parts sells an excellent pump (red in color) that has a few attachments, is not "flimsy", and can draw or pump virtually any fluid...i bought 1 to remove and to introduce new posi oil to the differential about a year or so ago...works well!
