Default need info oil change pump

I'm looking to find out what is the best oil change pump to be used from the dipstick. My dipstick has threads on it but not sure what pump to purchase that works well.

Looking for either electric pump or manual. I just don't want to wait for ever.

Thanks

I think the best one around is the electric jabsco portable pump. That is mounted on top of a 5 gal bucket.

+1. West Marine carries them but probably can find them cheaper elsewhere.

Build your own for a few bucks ---- Old five gal. bucket with lid , a Ford fuel pump , some hose and couple of hose clamps large enough to fit around the fuel pump. Strap it to the lid and put the right size hose on the pump and cut one end at a 45 degree angle and add six feet of wires and jumper clips so you can connect it to the batteries and your set to go.....Works great and the pump will run forever - saved your self $150.00.

Bi directional jabsco is pretty handy though.

Have Jabsco with brass pump head, it works good well. It is a lot faster if you have the engine warm as recommended, it takes pretty long for 8 qts x 2 engines, if cold (boat in drystack so figured I'd do it without taking it out by myself and warming it LOL)
Got the engine very empty too, after using it, the drain hose off bottom of engine basically didn't drain any more out on 700sci's.

I spent the money on the Jabsco changer. Its worth the money. The lid has a spout on it to get rid of the old used oil which is nice so you don't make a mess
