You don't actually need to measure per se, a case of good funnel wide opening and outlet and pour directly from the drum. If the drum is full then it's opening is at the top (to avoid glugging) and rotate the drum as it empties. When within a good safe starting range I'll run it for 30sec, check the level and pour in to the upper level....donski

I work from the dipstick more than measured amounts, it's a tad more site specific.

Works well for me without any mess but you do have to be on the ball when pouring.

Had though about a drill powered pump but again more nonessential crap:
