I've had Bilgey's JC Whitney 12v pump for years, Marc,
and it handles the 90w just as well as the standard
engine oils -- except, of course, when the outlet hose
slips OUT of the coffee can or milk jug collector.
(Yes, electrically pumped oil is just as messy to
clean up as hand-spilled oil, although it certainly
keeps coming!!)
