40 cc is roughly 1.3 ounces.
use spoons if need be.
I assume you are talking About semi bath oil. if thats the case it doesnt have to be exact.

Get a turkey baster from your local supermarket, they're $2 and the have ounce and cc measurements on them...
Also, many auto shops and some drug stores have very large syringes. You could probably get one on eBay too.
kitchen issue measuring cup...close enough.
Nah, just buy another graduated cylinder. All the others work just fine but come on, I mean how badass does a genuine Marzocchi graduated cylinder look on your work bench......or your bar for that matter.
I went looking for a syringe last time I was working on forks (yes, more than one). After asking at several pharmacies, I ended up with "flavor injector" ginoumous syringe from the grocery store. Syringe is spill proof, cheap, and makes it easy to add or subtract oil volume. And it's graduated in metric (CCs).
oh this was a big bad ass glass graduated cylinder...like the ones you used back in high school chem
I got a big 60cc syringe from Eckerd for just over $2. It works great and is very precise. I am sure you can get the same one or something similar at your local Pharmacy.
I use a suction type unit that has a long leangth of tubing. This enables me to get all of it out, while giving the precice ammount inwhich to pour back into it.

Those little cups you get with something like cough syrup or kids medicine (only good for 10ml at a time though). And kids medicine syringes, once again they're small volume.
Or pinch a good graduated plastic measuring jug from my kitchen, (nah actually we have one specifically for dirty work as such). And use it in combination with a plastic funnel to fill the lowers.
Just go to the supermarket and buy another jug.
