Message	Something along these lines, of course one meant for oil rather than brake fluid. It was recommended to me by the machinist who built my engine and I was able to borrow his. Dump a few quarts into it, pressurize the bladder and hook it up to the oil filter tree. Then all you need to do is release the valve on the tank and it forces oil through the whole system.
