Cool trick. I’ll stick with my pump sprayer and hose setup. I’m not about to wrestle with an air hose under my running hot Ram up off the ground 9”, nope

That trick has been around for many many years,my Dad used to fill grain truck diffs/transmissions /tractor final drives etc.,by pressurizing the bottle or in most cases a 5 gallon pail of fluid.Make sure you dial your compressor back to about 20 or 25 psi at most,especially if you're pressurizing a small quart bottle

This is how I filled my 8hp70. Works like a charm

I still prefer my modded garden sprayer for filling most things.If you wanted to get really trick with it,you could add a tire valve stem and use a compressor to pressurize it to about 20 psi

Remember metal 1 gallon cans? or maybe 2 gallon, brake fluid can, I did the same, soldered a 1/4" nipple on top for a air line, with copper pipe to bottom of can, and a shut off valve on to rubber hose to power bleed brakes, air pressure about 15 lbs.
Used it for years.
Same idea would work for oil, but I had a hand pump for that that went on a 5 gallon pail. it was a commercial made one.

Or just use the proper tools.

To digress slightly, I worked alongside this older mechanic who showed me how to prime diesel pump, filters and injector bleed etc all in one and quickly! He stuck an air line in the fuel tank, opened all the bleed valves and sealing the filler neck around hose, forced fuel all the way through and it worked like a charm, immediate start up, everytime. Could it do damage to modern stuff? Probably. But he never once had an issue, whereas I would spend ages getting fuel up to injectors!
Old fella, old school.

For a guy who loves to shout build your own, that's an interesting take. Why spend money for a specialized tool for something I'll use a dozen times in my life at best when an existing tool I have will work just fine.

IMHO--Common mistake these days--Disregarding knowledge and advice from "old fellas" and "old school".

I agree with Doc,the average guy isn't going to use that pressurized bottle enough to justify buying it Ian,you on the other hand will use it enough to justify it's price
