Default Changing motor oil on 2005 Mercury 4 stroke.

Just wondering how I get the old oil out. It doesn't have brass fitting on the dip stick for my pump. Is there a plug somewhere or do I need some other style of pump to remove it?

if the 2005's are like my 2008, there is a drain plug about 5 inches below the cowling on the passenger side of the engine, you will need to tilt the engine up, and turn the steering left, and the oil will drain into a pan easily.

My 07 90 4stroke is the same as above. I would kindly suggest you purchase an owners or service manual before you get too far into doing your own mtce........Irv964
