Mariah came with a Jabsco 14 quart self contained Oil Changer.

A good device for sucking up both the engine oil and the tranmission oil.

Perkins 4-108's have a removable oil plate that gives you access to the bottom of the oil sump into which you insert the suction pipe. You can wiggle it around and get almost all of the oil out and never spill a drop.

The nice thing about this pump is you can reverse the suction and pump out the old oil for disposal in to a jug. Pretty neat. I recommend.
