I can't imagine the mess Allen had trying to clean up an oil spill. I'd pay
money to see pictures of that.
I bought a manual pump at WM for $19 on sale. List price was about $40, I
think. It works great, but I don't see it in the current e-catalog.
Perhaps some WM store may have one on the shelf. It's called "Oil-Vac" and
UPC is 25282-01860.
I have the Perkins M30 that has the oil change pipe with threaded conection
that goes directly into the sump and can be reached just next to the oil
filter. This makes it a snap to get out all 4 qts. of oil. I could never
get out more than 3 qts through the dipstick. It is very important that you
get out all of the oil. Also, a good idea every couple of years to drain
from the bottom of the sump to get most of the sludge out.
