Pela 6000 Marine Oil Change Pump, 6.0 Liter Manual Oil Extractor

The Pela 6000 is a manual oil extractor built for changing engine oil without dropping the drain plug or crawling under the boat. A transparent, calibrated container shows exactly how much oil has been removed as it fills, and a built-in pour spout makes emptying the collected oil clean and controlled. The pump handle is removable for easy storage when not in use.

To use it, insert the probe tube into the dipstick tube until it reaches the bottom of the oil pan, attach the pump to the top of the container, and pump 10 to 20 times in a row to build a strong vacuum. Once the vacuum is created, the unit draws the old oil out automatically, so continuous pumping is not required; pulling the tube out of the fluid stops extraction at any point. When finished, the tube cap is removed from the container with a twisting motion and the collected oil is emptied gently into a container for recycling. No special cleaning of the unit is required beyond emptying out as much oil as possible.

With a 6.0 liter (1.57 gallon) capacity, the Pela 6000 suits engines that need a larger single extraction than smaller extractor models, and its sturdy see-through housing lets you monitor the extraction the entire time. It is not intended for use with gasoline or other flammable liquids.
