I see the benefit of diesel transfer tanks. What about hydraulic and engine oil?

I have watched the maintenance guys in the quarries and mines for years. They carry several engine oils, hydraulic, atf, grease, etc. on their service truck. It is all electric or air pumped, labeled, and on reels. Some of the lower volume stuff is pumped with a cordless Milwaukee set up.

I am a bit tired of struggling with 5 gal pails. We keep our diesel pump locked in a container. It wouldnt be that difficult or expensive to add a 12 volt pump for hydraulic oil and a 55 gal drum. Maybe switch to one engine oil for everything and pump it too?

How do you change and top off? ( Yes, I realize a few dozen Catapillers and a couple crushers has a greater volume than my tiny machines.)
