Skipper Dude,
You mean you can extract your oil without going up and down w your hand? It's a push button world eh?

Yes siree Bob,
All I have to do is open a valve and pump the oil out the bottom of the engine or trans. Then reverse the pump and pump the new oil right back in.
All I need is a bucket. everything else is set to go.

Skipperdude, Nice job. Is that a Groco vane pump? What is the empty spot on the manifold for?

We mounted an old aircraft hand fuel pump on the engine .
As our DD is more than 5 gal , it takes 2 pails to capture the hot oil .
Not much work to fill 3- 4 gal , swop pails and keep pumping.
No danger of an accidental dry engine , full of oil bilge with a rotary HAND pump.

That pump should be mounted with the pump down or horizontal.
As is, a leaky seal will fill the motor and you won't know about it until it is too late.
