I'd spent £15 and get a dedicated oil pump. I've been using one for years, it's good for draining and filling, which helps with the rear diff.

Like this.

Swill with Methylated Spirit and leave to dry. MS is very effective.

Thanks Nodge I was wondering as I Do not have a 36mm socket would a metalband as you use on metal oil can filters work for undoing the oil filler cap?

It would undo the filter housing bur possibly damage it. Get the socket as you'll need it every oil change.
