There are several to choose from and it depends on when you are goin to use it. I carry a good hand pump to change oil on a long cruise. One like this https://www.amazon.com/OTC-2357-Bra...t=&hvlocphy=9012266&hvtargid=pla-570352754045
Many people use one like this when not traveling. https://www.westmarine.com/search/_/N-1z12pcj?Ntt=hand+oil+pump Or this one, which I use, IMO, is the best https://www.defender.com/product.jsp?id=122092

I have used this oil changing system on our R31.
Since the engine holds 3.5 gallons of oil, and I did not want to have to stop and dump oil, I was looking for a system that holds enough waste oil that I could drain the oil in a single operation.
I got the unit at West Marine, but believe it is made by Jabsco.
I keep it in stored in the truck when not doing oil changes.
It works fine for the transmission oil changes, too.

Malcom,
I have used two different ones, my manual vacuum style worked great till you start pulling oil from a D4. I have since bought this one: https://www.defender.com/product.jsp?id=122092 and has made life much easier. Its well worth the money. Hope this helps.
Thanks,

I have used the one that sgeary posted as well. My only complaint with that is it seems to be slow to pump. The one that Kevin posted is the same as one I posted and that is a bit expensive, but the best. A word of caution: If you use the small plastic tube down the dip stick line, either remove it to pump the oil out of the extractor bucket or tightly clamp it so it will not slip out and I also put a clamp behind it on the black hose to prevent it from slipping in.
