Oil changers

Also I am wondering since I have a 22i if I cant just drain the pan out the center drain hole. Has anyone done this and is it a better way to go?

Yes that would work fine with yours if the oil is warmed first.

Look at the drill pump unit!!!! I use it to pump engines with 35 gallons of oil per side as well as merc, yanmar, cummins, cat etc. I've had the same unit since I've been in business (12 years), bought back ups and never used them and the original still works fine. I've tried configuring pumps and always laughed at the Moeller units (we had a 35hg vaccuum unit for on site stuff) but mobile extraction ease came down to the drill pump, $35 West Marine, $10 Harbor Freight, it works every time.

thanks for all of this i have a 2005 22v and it looks like the oil extraction hose has a quick release on it. do the units noted connect directly to the quick release? how much oil should go back in i have a 5.7l

Can you provide a link please?

Ok dump question, do you guys really use a pump to change your oil instead of the drain hose?
I just stick my drain hose through water drain plug hole and drain it that way.
Now for the trany and V-drive, I use a pump.

The drill pump I use can be found at West Marine for seemingly way too much money but Harbor Freight, Lowe's and Home Depot carry them occasionally as well. The fitting on the end of the drain hose is 1/4NPT and I use a brass 3/8"barb to 1/4NPT male fitting screwed into the end of the hose and then connect the rubber hose adapter from the inlet side of the pump to the hose fitting. It'll pull all the oil on a warm engine in less than a minute and if it's cold, maybe two or three minutes.
Whitlock, I just hate waiting. I can get my primary filter, bypass filter and oil changed in less than 5 minutes this way.
