Jabsco Oil Change Systems & Pumps

Jabsco Oil Change Systems: Marine-Grade Engineering

When it comes to oil change systems and pumps designed specifically for marine and recreational vehicle applications, Jabsco has built a reputation on durable, innovative solutions that simplify routine maintenance. Jabsco's oil change pump lineup addresses one of the most challenging aspects of engine care—extracting and replacing oil cleanly and efficiently in confined spaces where traditional drain pans simply won't work.

Reversible Pump Technology for Complete Oil Service

Jabsco's signature reversible oil change pumps can remove old oil from the engine, then with the integral reversing switch, the flow direction can be changed to pump a measured amount of new oil back into the engine. This dual-direction capability, found in models like the 17830-Series, transforms a single pump into a complete oil service system. The reversing function eliminates the need for separate filling equipment and ensures you can measure precisely how much fresh oil returns to your engine—a critical advantage when working with marine engines that may have limited dipstick access.

Flexible Impeller Construction and Bronze Durability

Jabsco builds their oil change pumps with bronze construction, nitrile impellers and Buna lip type seals, materials chosen specifically to withstand the harsh marine environment and handle hot engine oil safely. The flexible impeller design is self-priming and handles viscous fluids effectively, while the bronze pump body resists corrosion from saltwater exposure and engine compartment humidity. Jabsco offers both permanent installation systems designed to be plumbed directly to engine oil pans, as well as portable units like the Porta-Quick series that mount to collection reservoirs for multi-engine service.

Multi-Engine Manifold Systems

For vessels with multiple powerplants, Jabsco's manifold systems are factory fitted with three ball valves to serve three different oil reservoirs and may be fitted with two additional ball valves to drain up to five oil reservoirs. The 17820-Series oil change systems incorporate safety features like protective valve covers that prevent accidental opening and won't close unless all valves are fully shut—guarding against costly oil spills in the bilge. These permanently installed systems streamline oil changes across multiple engines and transmissions from a single, organized service point.

12V and 24V Options for Any Application

Jabsco manufactures their oil change pumps in both 12-volt and 24-volt DC configurations, ensuring compatibility with virtually any marine electrical system. The pumps feature ignition-protected designs that comply with ISO 8846 marine standards, making them safe for installation in engine compartments where fuel vapors may be present. Whether you're maintaining a single diesel auxiliary, twin outboards, or a fleet of generator sets, Jabsco's oil change systems are engineered to deliver reliable, mess-free service across demanding marine and mobile applications.
