Convert a small garden sprayer. It works awesome. There have been posts on the topic in the past.

This one has worked out for me along time. Its at the bottom of the link.

Gearcase Testers, Fillers

Holds 3 gallons and does the job. No mess

Doug @ Master Tech told me about this one............he also told me that the older lowers have a longer plug and newer ones have shorter one, so my current adapter wont thread in all the way to the o-ring it bottoms out, not a big deal just will loose a little fluid

Not sure, I have IMCO lowers on the Playboy and it works currently. Maybe newer ones are different. Maybe just add a couple of O rings, or add small washer ahead of o ring. Should be easy solution.

The one cdi sells is a garden sprayer with the adapters. When the actual pump failed I bought a replacement at Lowe’s

The Gear case filler for $252.50 is just an old school metal can sprayer by design.

Mityvac which is well known for repair shop equipment sells pressure pumps that retail over $300 for refilling Transmissions... and it's just a decent pressure pot from a sprayer with a series of adapters..... trick to them all is don't run out of fluid/ add air to the refill

In the shop we had the manual pump on 5 gallon and for remote servicing - it was a good lever sprayer (oil doesn't chew up the seals like chemicals/ fuel will and flows fine in warm weather)...
