Mcmaster 5233K113 Clear—Metric PVC Tube

Mcmaster 7510A653 0.34 oz. (10 cc) Regular Syringes with Luer Lock Tip

Getting the same model syringe but w/ a bigger volume would work better.
Making your PVC tube as small as possible also works.
I don't have a proper on/off valve so I can build pressure in the system first. Basically the setup was-

0. removing set screws from diff ends
1. associated diff oil bottle w/ cap off
2. short tube to one diff end
3. short tube from other diff end to syringe
4. action the syringe until fluid starts flow
5. wait for air to stop flowing.
6. take tubes off diff and install set screws.
