    Oil Change Time

    What do you all use to drain your oil? I see many options available.
    I have a 2020 Aurora 850 that is in need of an oil change.
    This will be my first Argo oil change.

    Hello there. I use an oil extractor. You can get them in manual, electric,and vacuum inducer style. There's also Small pumps that can attach to a drill. The one I have uses Air. Comes with different tube sizes. I remove the the dipstick put the small tube down and let it extract. Been using it for everything now. Take a look in my pictures and you'll see that one I use.

    These extractors save a lot of messy tub clean up

    Perfect that was what I was planning to do. Didn't know if a cheap Harbor Freight one would do the trick or if I should go bigger.
    What ever I get I can use on the outboard as well.
    Thanks for the replies.

    Bought $20 one off Amazon. “12v Oil transfer pump”. Works great. Super easy.

    Those do work great. A bud of mine has one he got there for his quads.

    I've done the old "catch it in a zip-lock baggy held under the drain plug" trick a couple times now. It's not easy, but it's free lol

    Got the oil out, but

    So after a bit of persuading I got the tube for the pump down the dip stick tube.
    Pumped out the oil and worked pretty well.
    Then I went to try to spin off the filter.
    That is a bit tight. Never got it off.
    Ordered a pair of oil filter pliers as there is no room for any sort of socket type wrench.

    Put new oil in and will try again when the pliers arrive.

    Does anyone have any experience changing this on the 33 HP Briggs?
    Not much clearance between filter and transmission.pump.jpgpliars.jpg
