Preferred oil change method?

**TL7** · 09-07-2010, 01:24 PM

I always changed the oil on our 2007 Outback myself using the drain hose on the bottom. Now that we have the 2010 LSV, I'm wondering if this is the best way or if an extraction pump is better. I assume I will need a pump to do the v-drive fluid anyway....

If a pump is the better method, does anyone have a good pump to recommend?

Thanks in advance!

I use the seasense oil extractor. Kinda noisy but effortless. Plus i can do it right at the dock by plugging on the boat's batteries

I have a manual extractor. It takes a little while but beers usually fill in the time.

I use the Pela 6000 and it works great. I stick it into the oil drain hose rather than the dipstick tube. Below is a review I did on it a while ago.

I've been searching here all night and cannot find a past post on a "powered" pump that someone used with a power drill to suck all the fluids out.

If you're out there.........please speak up? If someone has the thread or post can you place a link to it on here? Thanks! Was planning on using that method myself

I think it was something like/if not this:

+1 for a pump on the end of the oil pan drain hose. I do have to hook up my hand pump because just letting it "gravity drain" will not get all the oil out. Dont even bother trying to pump up & out the dipstick tube. Total waste of time!

I use the dipstick hole and it works fine. Must be my extractor set up right for it.
