Begun thinking about changing the oil on my Lehman SP135's so took a look at what is what. Was concerned about getting all of the oil out through the dipstick but here is what I found. After looking at it I remember the PO talking about using this to change the oil rather than the dipstick. I did find a West Marine Oil Change Pump but no hoses or extensions for it.
One pic is where the hose is attached to the sump. It rises up as shown in the second pic. There is a brass...hose cap I guess I will call it sitting in the end. Like a wine bottle stopper, just pulls out. I assume I would hook up the pump to this hose in some fashion? Certainly I don't stick anything down it into the hose? I read that draining through the dipstick doesn't get it all but leave a quart or even two in the sump. Given this drain setup will I get virtually all of the oil out of the engine when draining?
Apologies for the landscape pics. Can't figure out how to make them show portrait.
