R50/53 Oil Changes - Topside Method?
#4
I have a topsider and I used to do my oil changes like this. I don't think it's bad, but it does leave about half a quart in there and it takes a while. I pretty much went back to draining it through the drain plug, but sometimes I'll pull the majority out with the topsider and then the rest through the bottom, less pressure when it comes out and less chance of a mess.
If you want to simplify oil changes, I think a fumoto valve is a better investment.

I understand the thought that you can't give a 'good' flush to the oil pan but stop and consider that by far the majority of people owning inboard boats have to come in from the top to change the oil. It can't be that bad. It's likely that what little sediment accumulates at the bottom of the oil pan will simply stay there.
