For the sump plug you cannot reach, when the maker allows it · review
A 500 ml syringe with a transparent barrel and a printed scale — so you can see how much came out, which matters when refilling to a figure.
The last word The one with a scale. If a quantity matters, this is the syringe.
A 500 ml transparent extraction syringe with a printed volume scale and double seals, stated for brake, engine, gearbox and differential fluids.
Matching. Several jobs specify a quantity rather than a level — a differential top-up, a partial gearbox change, a measured brake fluid removal. Seeing what came out is how you know what to put back.
Keep it for one fluid. Cross-contamination between brake fluid and oil is the sort of mistake that is invisible until it matters.
Five hundred milliliters and a hand lever. An engine oil change needs a tank and a vacuum, and both are elsewhere in this hub.
On sale at around $20 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

Because many top-ups are specified as a quantity rather than a level. Removing 300 ml and replacing 300 ml is a different job from guessing, and a scale is the only way to do the first one.
Better not to. Brake fluid contaminated with oil is a brake system problem, and a syringe is never perfectly clean. Two syringes cost less than a brake fluid flush.

200 cc · EPDM with double rubber seals · two hoses, 30 cm (11.8 in) and 60 cm (23.6 in) · both directions
A 200 cc syringe supplied with two hose lengths, which is what decides whether it reaches the bottom of a reservoir or only the top.
Best for: Brake fluid changes and gearbox top-ups, where 200 cc at a time is enough.
Manual lever syringe · reinforced EPDM · quick hose connection · works in both directions
A lever-operated syringe in reinforced EPDM that both draws and dispenses — the cheapest way to remove a small quantity of fluid.
Best for: Topping up a gearbox, emptying a brake reservoir, or removing a small quantity of anything.
9.5 L tank · manual vacuum, no power or air needed · one-piece tank with O-rings · main hose plus 3 extension tubes
The tank version: 9.5 liters of capacity drawn by hand, with three extension tubes to reach the bottom of a sump through the dipstick.
Best for: An oil change on a car with an undertray, where draining means removing panels.
