Ok so I am going nuts trying to change this oil. It is a 88 barretta success with the 4 cyl merc inboard. The shop always used the dip stick tube with a pump to change it. BUT. I did purchase a pump but I imagine the oil may be a bit to thick for it to work correctly cause i have been attempting to pump it out but NADA! I am afraid to start this to warm the oil up due to the milky appearance. I attempted to loosen the drain nut at the bottom of the pan but it does not biudge and the square head is stripping. I have fought this damn thing al day trying to do something that normally would take a half an hour.
An Ideas? Think it would hurt to start it to warm the oil? Just don't want spin a bearing. On a car I would just drain it and flush the system but ....
Next I have a cracked shift bellows and the other ones show some cracking, They all need replaced. How involved is it to change these things. The shop wants 450.00,
