Oil changes - davidkerryedwards - 04-23-2006 02:48
I'll be changing the oil in my 3208 in the near future. I'm thinking
that the oil pan I use on my other vehicles is probably not large
enough to capture the full amount of oil in the 3208. How do other
people deal with this problem? Have a second container ready to push
in place, reinstall the plug and start over, or buy a larger
container? Ideas?

5 gallon bucket works good.

Kerry,
Buy a large pan.
I went overkill on my drain system...I bought a rectangle 9 gal. tank,
added a 4" inspection fitting/cover, added a drain spicket, mounted it
on a low profile frame/wheel cart. I remove the cover, roll the unit
under the drain plug, remove the drain plug, replace the drain plug and
tank cover after the oil has drained, roll the unit out from under the
bus...no mess. Fill the engine as needed. Set the tank up on my bench.
Open the spicket and refill the gallon oil jugs...again, no mess. Like I
said, OVERKILL...works great.

--David, I bought a plastic container from wally world that could hold 15-16
gals. Works great, only use it once a year.
