what does everybody use to pump ATF/gear oil/etc. into their cars? I currently use the little bottle pumps that you stick into the bottle with the little hose that inevitably falls out of the fill hole and makes a mess. I am looking for a better option that is preferably easier than holding the bottle up in the air and pumping that little thing on top 1 Tbsp at a time for multiple quarts...
what does everybody use?
Drill pump and tygon tubing.

thanks, do you get a pump that is fuel rated? What diameter tubing? The fluid that I replace is typical D4 ATF and 75w90.
Usually use 1/4" tygon, get braided if you are pumping heated fluids. I'd definately check to make sure your fluids will not melt the pump internals.

What exactly is a drill pump?
In reply to amg_rx7 (Forum Supporter) :
A small rotary pump of some kind, intended to be powered by a hand drill.
The specific one in this YT vid looked kinda slow: https://youtu.be/ozeE8_C8HLw?t=1750
I like the hand pumps that thread into a gallon jug.
I weigh roughly 210-220lb. Pumping 85W140 in a 40 degree garage will have me lifting my body off the ground as I lay under the car. My hands hurt just thinking about trying to squeeze three bottles in under those conditions!
Turkey baster. I keep one for garage use.
