This is what I came up with(see photo) about $20 at the hardware store, clean, will hold a gallon, goes 40# plus on hand pump, hose attached. Should be useful for all kinds of engines that don't run often around my place.

I used an old gas cylinder (5 pounds ish!) with a schrader valve incorporated in the top of the cylinder and a hose connecting to the oil pressure outlet on the engine. �I used a small compressor to pressurise the cylinder pumping oil into all engine cavities.

All worked well.

I use the OIL COOLER threads.
�
I want to do this but have not had the chance: �Remove one of the Oil Plugs on the front of the engine. �Pump the oil in at the Oil Cooler and SEE if the oil reaches the front of the engine.
�
As for the type of oil: �20W-50 Multi grade. Are yo breaking in the engine? �If so Philips makes a�recommended�20W-50 Non-AD oil.
�
BUT! �Times they are a changing... Some Mfg. now�recommend�20W-50 AD oil for break-in. � �And that is the way I went. No Problem... �550+ Hrs since new.
