Flightrite Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 This is what I use. Mine is a 6 litre container same as this, there are various types, inexpensive, quick and no oil in the gob![ATTACH type=full" width="456px" alt="1588066381226.png]52745[/ATTACH] At a $150 bucks I'll keep doing it the cheap way?
waraton Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 At a $150 bucks I'll keep doing it the cheap way? You've been looking at an aeronautical supplier if you are paying that much, plenty around at under $60. 1
Flightrite Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I just typed in the brand name show on Ebay, that's all that popped up! No aviation outlet.
onetrack Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 The boating fraternity with inboards can't drain their oil in the normal manner, via a sump plug. So they use a sump pump and suck the sump dry. You can get one off Whitworths for $19.95. https://www.whitworths.com.au/engine-steering/engine-accessories/oil-extractor-pumps Sure beats a mouthful of highly carcinogenic engine, with lots of pollutants in it, from by-products of combustion. And yes, used engine oil is highly carcinogenic, it's the reason mechanics have a 5 yr shorter lifespan than the males who don't paddle in oil every day. 1 2
Bruce Tuncks Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Thanks Onetrack, I'll get one of those boat pumps.
old man emu Posted April 28, 2020 Author Posted April 28, 2020 You can get one off Whitworths for $19.95 Now that's something that every workshop should have.
kgwilson Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 It is amazing what there is that you didn't know existed. You can even get 12 volt pumps for $30.00. That Whitworths item is cheap but the $17.00 post charge makes it more expensive than from Ebay at $30.00 delivered. 1
Old Koreelah Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 After my initial enthusiasm, I remembered that I already have a similar hand pump in my workshop; just hadn't occurred to me to use it for oil changes.

facthunter Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 You only have to do that if you want promotion.. A golf ball up a frozen garden hose is a common phrase. Nev
