Who makes the best 12V oil changer?
http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...0001/170/169/6
Is this a good one? I need to buy one this week. Anyone sell it cheaper than this? This is my first boat that did not have outboards so I do not have a the oil changer. It will be for a 525 EFI if that makes any difference. Also what do you do about the alligator clips if you have billet covers over the battery? Can you get a small battery just for the oil changer? Thanks Mike

Mine works great, I use it for boat and my cars, never had a problem you can pump the old oil back in empty jugs with reverse. I used mine one time with a battery charger when I didn't have a battery. Just make sure to warm it up first

I have the Shur-flo, 5 yrs old, original impellor. Works great, worth every penny. I use mine with a jump box.
