Carrying spare oils on a long trip

yep .. it's an auto

talking about filler devices, I bought one of these red manual, piston type, oil transfer pumps, the ones with an in and an out hose. Usless things they are if its a thick gear oil you're trying to pump. Hard work, especially if you're trying to pump while lying under the 4WD. The outlet hose seal/ retainer of this pump is a poor design, liable to jump off without notice when the pressure comes on.

There are containers available that can be pressurised to transfer the oil, sounds like a much better idea but a bit pricey for the odd oil change if one just wanted to take it on a trip.

Anybody have other working ideas for this chore? Something home made perhaps?
I tried the funnel/ gravity feed method but it takes a rather long hose and a very long time plus the oil in the hose has to be drained before stowing the lot afterwards.

I bought one of those syringe thingies (can't think of the brand but that mob makes a lot of lubrication devices), anyway it is OK but messy but no bigger than a grease gun and can be be taken along. The Nissan took 3 litres in the diff seemed to take for ages.

Kind regards

V8troopie I use one of those 5 Litre garden sprays from Bunnings $10. Put the oil in and pump up ,cut the (wand) shorter to fit in the diff/gearbox,works good for me.

Like desray says, the garden sprayer is brilliant

actually my rear diff has a ARB air-locker hence why i only mentioned the Hypoid gear oil API GL-5 (which is specified for the front diff & therefore what i have been told to use in the rear too)

based on that would you still recm i used LS90 for both diffs & the transfer case (in an emergency)

PS: what is LS90 anyway?

actually just found this description for LS90 Gear Oil on the web:

"ACDelco LS90 Gear oil is an all-season, high performance, LS hypoid gear oil for highly stressed normal and limited slip differentials in cars, vans, trucks, buses, tractors, construction and industrial machinery
SPECIFICATIONS: API GL-5, SAE 90
APPLICATIONS: Limited slip differentials requiring an API GL-5, SAE 90 gear oil."

I run ls90 in most constant 4wd front and rear diffs because it is good oil.
But because you have a locker just 80/90 would be fine.

A lot of workshops simply stock LS90 as a universal diff oil as its fine for the front diff as well, and costs about the same as LS90. If I had to carry one oil as a spare, it would be LS90, and I'd happily slip it into the transfer case in an emergency.
