Do you hook this up to your air compressor?

That's a great idea. I'm going to try it on my next transmission service. Of course, the pressure will be turned wayyyyy down. I too am tired of pumping 2 gallons of oil into a transmission by hand.

I've done that! Works pretty well. Somehow I always make a mess.

The pumps for 5 gal buckets are a very different matter, I don't mind them much. They go pretty quick. But I'm using them under a 2-post.

Look I have one of them air powered mity vacs. I still use smaller hand pump unit. Less hassle and noise and hoses.

That's a great idea! I now service diffs/trans by using a garden sprayer with a modified tip. Just pump and hold the handle to dispense. But this is a great option.

I've always used a gallon garden sprayer. Only need to pump it a few times then pop open a cold one and watch it do the work.

What is on the end of the hose holding it into the diff? Does it allow overflow?

it's just the tip from my hand pump

Looks good. I've been using one of those $15 12v extraction pumps on my last couple jobs and really like it.

Worth noting I haven't tried it with true gear oil, but it pumps motor oil and hydraulic fluid just fine.

Great idea. Wish I had known that earlier this year when I did the front and back diff plus transfer case. I did the squeeze the bottle while trying not to blow the line off method.

The wife will not let me use the washer when she smells gear oil and friction modifier. Those clothes have to go in the garbage.
