Jabsco 17860-2012 12V Flat Tank Oil Changer, 3.5 Gal
The Jabsco 17860-2012 is the Jabsco 12 volt flat tank oil changer, a self-contained oil change system with a 3.5 gallon flat collection tank. It pulls old oil out through the dipstick tube into the low profile tank, which slides into tight spaces and carries the used oil to disposal.
Changing oil through the dipstick tube or a permanently plumbed drain line keeps used oil off the engine and out of the bilge, which is why oil change pumps are standard equipment on many boats. Warm the engine first so the oil flows freely, keep the suction end at the bottom of the sump, and never let a flexible impeller pump run dry for more than a few seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can it pump diesel fuel?
Nitrile impeller pumps handle diesel and oils. Never pump gasoline with a pump that is not rated for it.
Q: Why is the pump slow on cold oil?
Cold oil is thick. Run the engine for a few minutes first, and keep suction hose runs short.
Q: How do I store it after use?
Pump a little clean light oil through it, then store it dry and protected from dirt.
Q: Should the engine be warm?
Yes. Warm oil is thinner and pumps faster, but let it cool enough to handle safely.
