First Class How-To video. Straight and to the point, no fluff, no useless commentary. Real teaching. I changed my oil in my I/O after watching this and it was all accurate information that made the change so much easier than I imagined. The plastic bag for the filter was a great suggestion. I hadn't thought of it. Cut way down on the mess. Thanks again! Keep them coming!

Dude, awesome video; well done! Thanks, too, for the filter/bag tip. All the years I've changed oil in cars, trucks, tractors, etc. it never occurred to me to do that. Mega snaps! You da man!!

I use to laugh at and or trash talk these oil extractors. ( no thanks, I'll do it the right way) I finally started sucking the oil out of a lawn mower that I bought because the drain plug so was in a bad tight spot. Now I just do it on everything including the outboard. Fast, easy, very little clean up. good video.

And the pump to put oil in the outdrive? Thank you for the videos. Short and to the point.

[prapra]

Fantastic video It helped me a lot. One question though when do I use the filter wrench when taking it off or when putting it on?

[MrItsthething]

Great videos, keep it up. Personally, I like to drain my oil into a small pan, and then vacuum it out of the pan so it doesn't spill when the pan is removed. You can get more oil out this way.

Sure wish that you would do a video like this on 4 stroke outboard motors.

I guess the list (0.30) should include #7: boat oil extraction pump

[michaellavery]

Was thinking about getting one of these for my car, lawnmower etc.
Doesn't it leave a lot of gunk at the bottom? In my experience, car pans are usually flat.

Im pretty sure i put to much new oil back in. Dipstick reading is real high. Haven't been on the water yet. Should i drain to where i am just ABOVE the SAFE reading on the dipstick? THOUGHTS? ADVICE??

[markjaquith]

good video. I like the bag tip. what weight/type of oil should I put in the 5.7 351 V8 ??

[ivangomez]

I have a 2001 Ski centurion. Mercruiser 5.7 engine, can I use 15W-40 oil? Or should I stick to 20W-40?

[mustangflyr]

Where do you get the pumps to change the engine oil and out drive oil?

[justincastronovo]

Does the oil filter have to be changed to change the oil?

[peterlibretto]

Fantastic, thanks very much for that, what model pump is it for extraction and where would I get one please?

[Boomtrack]

It took me about 90 minutes to pump 9.5 quarts of oil with that same oil pump.

[SOVrIGN]

I have VP 5.7GXi 2008. no previous experience with boats. I noticed it takes hours before oil in my engine settles completely, If I cheeck it 10min after stop it shows nothing on a dipstick. but tomorrow it is close to max. Is this normal?

[DinoAutoupdate]

Nice video please what type of oil is that and engine mark?

[Boomtrack]

How can I find out how many hours my engine has?

[TheDdjidic]

Is it an absolute must to warm up the engine before draining the old oil?
