changing oil
 

Is there a trick or anything I need to know about changing the oil on 500 efi with pre lubers???

i thought prelubing was when you called your wife before you got home and, oh nevermind.

That was funny, but seriously do I do anything different than before without the pre's??????

Well to give an update, there is nothing out of the norm to do. It was easy the only bad part is waiting for the sucker to suck the oil out. Thanks guys!

Officer Troutly Sir, I can feel for you, nothing like turning a simple job into a 3 hour clean up. What a mess. I just bought the pump on the can kit. I have hoses off the pans to get all the oil. I hope this way I can keep it in the can and off the floor :)

Hoses off the pans is cheating!!!!!

Re: changing oil
 

its the only way to go. it was a biatch the first time to get em on, but since then, oil changes are an hour for both engines, and that includes drain time. :)

believe it or not--WISK detergent and hot water will clean the hell out of your bilge!! :)

Matt,
How's the new boat coming along? Are you having fun with it yet? I hope so. You should come out here for the Scope run. (August 27-29) A friend of mine just bought a Tiger with 1,000's. Should be a fun ride. :rolleyes:

Trader, I would not have it any other way :) I did mine when they were out so it was a snap. Out the dip stick just doesn't seem to get all the oil, plus with most crap settling in the pan this will suck that first and clean out the big chunks of metal that are normal in a boat motor. Some are so big they plug the hose but most make it thru, I wonder where that metal comes from? Is this a by product of combustion? Maybe it is just normal :) :)

If you have pre lubers there should be a quick disconnect fitting between the pump and the oil filter. Disconnect it and turn on the pump.
At least that is the way mine is rigged. Quick easy changes!!!

:D :D

Must be "Change your oil week". I just finished doing both of mine and Drive fluid changes as well. Now I have to break the law :cool: :cool: and transport 7.5 gallons of used oil up the street to the garage!!
