Oil Change - 2007 21V Limited

[bbrunner]

Looking for instructions for changing the oil. The filter is a no brainer. Does the 2007 21V have a quick oil drain line...or does the oil have to be extracted through the dip stick?

Also, any one have clear esay to understand instructions for changing fluid in V-Drive and Transmission?

Not sure how to answer your specific question - but have a related one.
My 08 Supra has the oil drain line - but I ahve not had one of these before,
on the old boat - I always used my vaccuum pump to pull the oil from
the dipstick tube - I am not sure what kind of connector (it's threaded, brass)
I need to connect to the quick drain line. Anyone know? How do you all do it?

Don't want to pay the dealer for something easily done myself, but I knwo they have
a pump they just hook to the line and suck it right out.

it should have the tube
most inboards from 2000 have the tube
you can buy the 150 dollar bucket one, or amazon sells a one that looks like a gas can for under 100

for v-drive oil you justt suck it out and replace, same with tranny
i know tranny and oil is at 1 year or 100hrs, i thought vdrive was more than that, i have o look it up

JIT - I already have a vacuum pump, but it's made for sucking thru the dipstick.
(and it works great for things like the v-drive) - I just don't see how to hook it
to the quick tube.

This is the one I have had for about 8 years:http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?i=74918&pdesc=Moeller_Fluid_Extractor&cname=Oil-Changers--Filters&aID=24A&merchID=1009&r=view

did you get the black or red rubber plugs to add another hose on to the pump?
if so i use that over the drain tube

Thanks JIT,
I probably have them - I know I got them.

For the last couple years I've just started my engine, let it heat up, then pull the tube through the drain hose and let it drain into an oilpan on the garage floor. That takes a week.....

Ya that works
just need a bucket to put the oil into
