Another way too Drain Oil
During the winterzation i found another way to drin the oil other then the hand pump that pepople have been using. It also costs less for the setup. It only took about 1 min to drain all the oil out of the block.
Parts are a hose fitting and coupler that attaches to the oil drain hose. I think it was a 3/8's and is showen in the first pic. The second is a washer water hose that i shoved threw the plug hole so everything was down hill. The second pic is of the fitting on the hose and the drill pump to the jug. The third was a drill pump. Showen in the last photo. Total cost was about $20.2008 Outback V - Sold but never forgotten.

Jester,
Great idea! Where did you get the fitting that attaches to the oil drain hose and what's it called? I may have to try this next year.

The fittings are just a 3/8's hose adaptor and a M to M coupler. I beleve everything is a 3/8's but will have to check. Home Depot should have it. I have it somewhere in my truck with all the rest of my tools.

The problem with it is that is sucks out the oil so fast that you only have time to shotgun a beer before it is done.

yah, but while the other's are drinking 1 or 2 during the drain process you can just sit back and drink 3 or 4 cause the job is done

Viking thats what I was thinking. Why rush into anything. Climb in the boat, drink 2 beers, then drain the oil and drink 2 more.

You do have a good point. Have to make time for the beer.

How much harder would it be if the oil was cold? I mean does it have to be warmed up?
