    Anyone have any recomendations for a 12v oil pump? Lookomg for something that i can use to fill transmissions with. I've got a hand pump for qt bottles now, but use that for 3 qts per trans and you start to feel it and it takes forever.
    Everything ive seen on amazon is questionable overseas possible junk...

    We use Reverso pumps on all our boats. Quality piece that’s made in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Not cheap but will pump cold 30 wt oil.

    I did 2 valvebodies today. 3 qts each. Trans fill is on the back side so you have to fill from the wheel well. Ive used suction guns before but the 8/9 speed atf is thin and messy doing it that way.

    After today, $300 might be worth it;)

    I use a JC Whitney 12 volt pump. Works great, pumps fast. Just buy more pliable hose because the stuff that comes with it is stiff.
    I used clear duel line.

    Strip the water pump out of an rv they work well. If you find the right donor take the inverter too no battery needed. Been using one for drain oil for years

    Ended up getting an extractor by mighty vac? I think thats right. Holds 1.5 qts at a time. The hose is just right for sticking in the fill hole. Not electric, but way faster that the qt bottle pump i was using
