What oil extractor are you using?
Hi,
Attempted changing the oil for the first time last week before the maiden voyage and just have a cheap Harbor Freight extractor. I pumped for an hour and got maybe a half quart. Just trying to not break the bank on one of these and a manual pump is fine as long as it works. I know for best results the oil should be warm. Any suggestions? West Marine pumps are about $60. I have an oil pan I can pump into as well. Thanks! This forum has been great so far |

I bought a Topsider MVP. That thing will suck the tail-lights out of a dump truck!

I just use the drain line out the back of the boat and let gravity take care of the rest. I usually let it drain overnight after a run, then refill the next morning.

I honestly have not had these issues with my Topsider. And I always pull out the Diesel oil from my engine and transmission cold in the off season. Again, it has really light duty use. I have changed the transmission and engine oils around 5x now. So give or take 10 oil pulls, I have not experienced any vacuum leak at the handle. I dont exert a huge amount of force on the pump when pumping as I am being careful inside the boat. I am sure there are other better units, but the price of the Topsider is what sold me.
