Help - Oil transfer pump recommendations
What are you guys and gals using as a pump to move oil from a 5 gal pail/bucket when you are changing your oil. I just bought my first 5 gal pail of oil and now need am looking for the best way to get the oil into the engine - and no, holding the pail over the fill hole is not going to work for me.... I would like something that is electric or air powered but I want something that is going to hold up and work well.
I have seen things like Hand Pump For 5 Gallon Pail # SD13 by Tuthill Corporation
or
Portable Power Pump, 12V DC # FR1614 by Tuthill Corporation
Wel-Bilt Oil Extractor Pump — 12V DC, 60 Watt, 3L/Min. Flow Rate | DC Powered Oil Pumps| Northern Tool + Equipment
(I really like something like this but not sure if I can use it to move oil from the pail into the truck or if something like this is only used to remove oil from the vehicle)
Along the same lines - anyone draining the oil through the dip stick - if so do you use the same pump to remove the old oil that you do to add the new oil?

I have been buying mine in 2.5 gal cans and just pouring it in through a funnel.
I would probably go with a hand pump, since you may not be using it very often.
Is 5gal, pail a lot cheaper??
I think my last was 50 something dollars at Walmart.

My vote is for the first hand pump. I've used smaller versions to pump gear oil. I used to buy rotella T in 5 gallon buckets at Tractor supply, and I could pour from the bucket into a funnel without spilling too much, but I use T6 now and I haven't found it in 5 gallons yet.

Was in PEP Boys yesterday - buying by the 5GAL pail is like 3 bucks cheaper than 1 GAL jugs.
