Hi Guys,
I have a ITT Jabsco portable oil changer. It is reversible has a bronze pump and can hold 3.5 gals of oil. I'm sure some of you are familiar with it.
I tried to remove oil from a motor today with no luck. The ambient temp was 50 deg.F. and the oil (probably 40 wt was cold) . I can not run the motor to get the oil warm. The oil changer is ten years old and will pull 30 wt Rotella straight from the bottle. My question: Is my pump failing or is the oil in this motor too cold to be pumped out? I have never pumped cold oil, but I figured this pump could handle it.
Thanks,
Jon Allen
