Pela 6000 oil extractor?

SHICKS · 02-01-2005, 01:15 PM

Has anyone used one? How well do they work? I have used electric extractors in the past with great success. I would like to try a hand pump extractor to change oil.

Any feedback would be great or recommendations to another brand.

Thanks,
Steve

Dear Shicks:

I hav tried a bunch of oil changers over the years and have come up with a favorite.

It all started when the wife caught me using her wok to change the oil in my Sea Ray. Jeezzz. You would have thought that I was trying to poison the kids!

Any way my Fav. is the "Oil Boy" fluid extractor. It goes for about Fifty bucks at Boat US and works well. Two minutes (with hot engine oil) and you are ready for a new filter and new oil. (I like NAPA gold filters and 40 wgt.oil)

An alternative if you trailer is the "Quick Drain" drain pan fitting, 15 bucks. This is a fitting that you put in your drain plug and run a hose out of the bilge drain when on the trailer. You can then dump the oil to a container and there is no mess.

All are available from Boat US or any good boating supplier.

You can spend 150 bucks on electric pumps but these cheaper ones work well and are easy to use.

Stir fry any one?

Misty.

What I did was found a nipple that will fix the oil drain plug. Attach a rubber hose long enough so that you can snake it out the bilge drain and onto the oil container. After I finish draining the oil, I cap the rubber hose, snake it back into the boat and attach it to the inside of the transom. Works like a charm.

Actually I am going to use this on a car. Thanks for the help. I will try the Oil Boy or the Pela.

Thanks,
