Pela 2000 Marine Oil Change Pump, 2.5 Liter Capacity, PL-2000

The Pela 2000 is a compact marine oil change pump built for small engines. It creates a powerful vacuum with just 5 to 10 pumps, letting you extract used oil directly through the dipstick tube without draining from below the engine. This makes it well suited for small 4-stroke outboard engines up to 50 HP, sailboats with small diesel engines from 9 HP to 18 HP, and PWCs with 4-stroke engines.

The unit has a 2.5 liter (2.64 qt) capacity, sized for the smaller oil volumes found in these applications. Oil is drawn up through a 3/16 inch OD probe tube (43 inches long) into a 3/8 inch OD clear section tube (39 inches long), then collects in the container so you can monitor extraction as it happens. No special cleaning is required after use; simply empty as much oil as possible from the unit and bring the used oil to a recycling depot. The pump is not intended for use with gasoline or other flammables.

To use the Pela 2000, warm the engine to help suspend contaminants in the oil, remove the dipstick, insert the probe tube down to the bottom of the oil pan, attach the pump, and pump 5 to 10 times to start automatic extraction. Pulling the tube out of the fluid stops extraction at any time.
