Trusted by marine service professionals worldwide, Jabsco oil changers are known for dependable performance and long service life.

Key Performance Features

• Powerful Electric Extraction: Equipped with a high-torque 12V DC motor, this system can pull hot or cold oil through even the narrowest dipstick tubes.

• High-Quality Components: It uses a flexible nitrile impeller that is specifically designed to handle oil and lubricants without degrading.

• Simple Operation: Features a dedicated On/Off switch located on the pump housing for easy control while managing the extraction tube.

Included in the Box

The 17820-0012 is a complete, self-contained kit designed for immediate use:

• 14-Quart Container: A sturdy, chemical-resistant bucket with a sealed lid to prevent spills during transport and a pour spout for easy disposal.

• Mounted 12V DC Pump: A high-torque, self-priming pump with a Nitrile impeller already installed and secured to the lid.

• Extraction Plumbing: Includes a 8-foot (2.4m) main hose and a specialized 1/4″ dipstick probe for reaching deep into the oil pan.

• Power Leads: Integrated wiring with battery clips for easy connection to your boat’s 12V battery.

• On/Off Switch: A weather-protected toggle switch built directly into the pump housing.

What You Will Need (Not Included)

• Power Source: A charged 12V DC battery (your boat’s starting or house battery works perfectly).

• Warm Engine: For the best results, you’ll need to run your engine for a few minutes prior to use to warm the oil, making it thin enough to flow quickly through the probe.

• Cleaning Supplies: A few shop rags or paper towels to wipe down the extraction probe after removal.

Essential Maintenance Part

The most common wear item in this system is the internal impeller. It is a good idea to keep a Jabsco 12099-0002 Nitrile Impeller on hand so you aren’t stuck mid-service if the original impeller becomes “set” or damaged over time.

Would you like me to find a spare Nitrile impeller kit for your maintenance kit, or are you looking for engine oil filters for a specific engine model?
