Lance:
It's pretty easy just a bit time consuming (allow 1-2hrs). I just did
the oil change on my 5416. Ran the engine for about 15 minutes to heat
up the oil, used a hand held pump (took about 15" - key having the hose
into the dipstick port being rigid (maybe even use 1/4" copper tubing)
sending the old oil into a 1 gallon milk carton.
My list of necessary items to accomplish the oil change is:
3 quarts of diesel oil (about $3.50/QT)
1 oil filter - bought from NAPA automotive store (about
$8-10)
1 oil filter strap wrench - from NAPA auto store (about
$8-10)
1 short plastic funnel
2 plastic bags - zip lock for old filter and for hand
pump
1 paper towels or acouple rags to wipe up any spilled
oil
1 hand held pump (came w/ Impulsive)
While you are there, suggest adding antifreeze mix to raw water system
and biocide to fuel tank.
Beats paying the yard $200 to winterize Impulsive
Good luck
Dave

For those who have the Universal 5411, how do you drain the oil?
According to the manual listed below, you siphon it out with a pump
through the dipstick port. That sounds too complicated for this

Lance -
If you have a Universal 5411 - and if you have a return water line to
the raw water intake it sounds like it - here are some links to help you
out:
