Changing Engine Oil?

[Dreamcatcher1]

Hi All,
I searched for information on engine oil changing pumps but couldn't find anything. Does anyone have any experience with the pumps on the market that drain oil by pumping through the dipstick? I have two Honda outboards on my sled and was thinking about using a pump through the winter months because it is difficult to pull my boat once they drop our lake level. I was looking at the Pela 650 model. Thanks for any input pro or con.
Randy

Search (Google)..
Moeller Oil Changer
I look here at Iboats, and didn't find it. West or Boaters World should have them. Vacuum pump, holds 4 quarts or so. Comes with different size hoses. My neighbor uses it on his Honda. I use it on my motorcycles, mowers, whatever. Of course it does not replace a good drain, it will pull the old out, and then you get at least a fresh supply for the winter. Ya need to get the motor oil warm though, like anything else cold oil don't flow very good. I found this thing is a real worksaver for me with all the small engines I have around here. Worth every penny. PS. Don't use with gas..harden's the seal

Beware of vacuum pumps with more than one adaptor or hose dia change as everyone may leak. I find the type that works on the end of a drill the best. They are inexpensive, easly to find and there is only one hose from and one to the pump and both are threaded so leaks are not an issue.
