with Oil..
and a plastic bottle, with a flexible tube fitted. 1 ltr bottles of gearoil usually come with a tube attached. Get one and just keep topping it up.

when doing gearbox oil i run a hose through the engine bay with a funnel.so much easier than trying to squeeze a bottle of oil in.

I was lucky, when I bought my garage there was one of the old fashioned oil buckets in there. The one with the rubber hose and a winder handle operating a pump. Old fashioned, yes, but saves a lot of messing about. You can probably find one on flea bay.

I use one of these. Clarke CGG500 500cc Oil Suction Gun - Machine Mart
As someone else has suggested. A clean length of hose into the gearbox/dif with a funnel or container on the other end with your oil in it. Keep an eye on it when it starts to drip from the box pull out hose and block with thumb. If you use an oil bottle like in photo the glug factor slows down the fill and gives you time to get the kettle on.

this is going to sound daft but when i refill i use the 1litre bottles, i put my finger over the end of the tube bit and poke it in the fill hole, then when stab the bottle (above the level of the liquid) with a knife - stops the glug factor or having to squeeze it

Cheapo pump operated garden sprayers work really well.
