Most places (Kragen, Schucks, Pep Boys, AutoZone, etc.) will carry the
Sta-Lube pump, which IMO works quite well. The pump screws into the bottle,
and has a long enough hose to snake under the car, with a fitting on the end
that fits into the filler hole. Each stroke of the pump moves a specific
amount of oil, so it also measures the oil as you pump it in. I just bought
a new one last year, as my old one finally bit the dust (after some 15
years), ISTR it was under $15.
Although it's designed to fit the Sta-Lube bottles (of course), I found that
by adjusting the length of the dip tube, I was able to use it with my
Valvoline bottles. I use a golf tee to block the open end of the line, so
it doesn't accumulate dirt or drip oil between uses.
