Default Two way pump to drain oil

As far as fuel goes, it won't go bad in 6 months but I've seen situations where something happens and the boat misses a season in the water. In that instance you would want Stabilizer in the fuel if it sat for a year and a half.
I have a small car that is based on a go-cart chassis. It does have a drain plug, but it is far easier to pump out the oil. Pump has a tune to go in the engine, and one to a waste jug. Pumps on both stokes. No mess, easy to do. Ditto with the lawnmower.
