Is there a oil change kit that allows you to easily change the oil from the oil pan on a Vovo Penta 5.0L motor which has the dip stick coming out of the drain plug. I've tried sucking the oil out of the dip stick using a 12v suction pump and drill pump and not too sucessful. I've seen the hoses that replace the oil pan drain plug but need one that accepts the dip stick also?
Thanks

The drain plug tube with the dipstick works great. But, you need to run the engine and warm the oil first or it will be a real pain to get out. Then you need to use a hose on the dipstick tube that doesn't suck air, and you need a hose between the dipstick tube and the pump that doesn't collaps.
I use a piece of hose that just goes over the dipstick tube (don't use the threaded end) that fits tight on the tube.
I use a pump with an electric motor on it for oil changes, and it doesn't take more than 20 to 30 seconds to pull 5 quarts of oil out.

I use the jabsco pump that threads onto the dipstick tube.

Part number is ITT 340600130
