I use one of these, search gearbox oil pump.
Various makes from £13 to £20, mines made by Sealey so it's at the higher end, but it looks the same as the £13 pictured.
I started with a syringe, they work fine, but I personally found them difficult to use lying on my back. The one I had also leaked at the plunger, so in use oil would eventually run down my arms etc, very messy.
The advantage for me is I hook the filler pipe in and sit at the side of the vehicle (in relative comfort) until it's full. The disadvantage is it's not as fast as the Syringe.
A TIP - if you can lift the vehicle. I put mine on 4 off ramps, so it remained level for filling, but I had more space to move around. Helps no end, I particularly if you go for a Syringe.
