"It's time to change oil f
"It's time to change oil for the first time since I bought our boat. I bought oil change kits from American Diesel and plan to install them the first time I drain the oil. My question is, what is the best way to drain the oil? My preference would be to pump as much as possible out through the dipstick tube, but given its small diameter, I'm not sure it's practical even after warming the oil. Has anyone done it this way? Is it practical? I'm thinking a 1/4" copper tube is the largest that will slide into the dipstick tube, but I haven't measured yet so comments RE this are also welcome.
Thank you."
