Make it easy on yourself. Go back to the marine parts store, spend $125 for an electric suction pump which is a lot faster than the hand pump type. The time you save will be worth it - especially if it is really cold or hot when you're changing the oil. There is nothing wrong with a Topsider - except that it and other hand pumps are slow. I change the oil every 3000 miles, so I want efficiency. Also, After I add the new oil to the engine, I reverse the pump and pump the old oil into the 2 used gal. oil containers which are taken to the recycling center. And, the oil containers hold close to 5 quarts, so if you drain 8.5 or so quarts, you still only have two containers to cart away. Figure it this way: after ten oil changes, charging yourself $12.50 an oil change, the pump is paid for. It sure is cheaper than the dealer!
