I've had a simple "suction gun" like the one sold by Advance Auto:
Powerbuilt Tools 648756,
website for online shopping: www.partsamerica.com, search for the above.
This works for getting old oil out and I've found that it also works for
getting new oil in. However, Nick's comment about cleaning gear oil out of
the hose is equally true for this device.
Enjoy,
