Fluid Transfer Pump Recommendation

[carock]

It seems like I am always having to put a quart of some ATF, power steering, or differential oil into some remote vehicle cavity on a regular basis. Can anybody recommend a convenient hand powered fluid transfer pump that is easily cleaned so that I can change fluids easily? The constant hassle of trying to find something that works for most applications has been driving me nuts for years. So far the best I have done is a nice oil can with a plastic tube. In cleans up easily but it is sloooowwww.... I finally thought I would break down and ask for advice.

I use a syringe pump from az for 40wt (90wt) type applications. Runny and hot things are easily siphoned (gas, psf, atf)

I use one of the amsoil bottle hand pumps.

Works well enough although I never clean it. I just use it for gear oils so I've never bothered. I suppose you could flush it for a few pumps with whatever you fluid you are using it for, before you add fluid to the car.

I have heard that this one is great:

I need to change ATF in a vehicle with no dipstick so I'm also interested in this.

Also available at Lowes for about $29.00

This pump has strong suction and works as advertized.

x2. The HF pump works well, but it broke on me halfway through the suctioning process. May want to buy two just in case (they arent more than about $5 a piece IIRC)

I used the HF pump for adding gear oil to my brothers blazer. It leaked right out of the box and the bottom hose kept coming off from I assume the pressure. One time it sprayed oil at him.

Had I been siphoning ATF or PS fluid, I imagine the leak would have been more severe though.

I recently purchased one of these and so far it has worked very well:

I have used a Pela 6000 for about 10 years. Mainly to suck oil out through the dipstick, but also for ATF, PS and brake fluid. I wouldn't say it's easy to clean out, but everything I pull out gets dumper into gallon jugs for proper disposal and not reused.

Amsoil carries one. A pint per pump.

I use the Motive Power Fill. It is $76 at BavAuto.com. Much better than the hand transfer pumps that make a big mess.
