Shurflo Oil, Diesel & Fuel Transfer Pumps

Shurflo Oil, Diesel & Fuel Transfer Pumps: Proven Engineering for Fluid Transfer

Shurflo has been a trusted name in fluid transfer technology since 1968, and that same heritage of precision engineering carries directly into their Oil, Diesel & Fuel Transfer Pumps. While Shurflo built its reputation powering RV water systems and marine applications, the brand's advanced motor technology translates exceptionally well to the demands of oil extraction, fluid transfer, and equipment maintenance — making their transfer pumps a go-to choice for boaters, RV owners, small engine enthusiasts, and workshop mechanics alike.

Advanced Motor Technology Built for the Job

The Shurflo Fluid Changing System incorporates Shurflo's advanced motor technology, which includes thermal overload protection — a critical safety feature that prevents pump damage during extended operation or accidental dry runs. These pumps are self-priming, easy to install, and extremely versatile, making them perfect for a variety of uses including winterizing, oil changing, and liquid transfer.

One of the standout features in Shurflo's transfer pump lineup is ignition protection — the pump is ignition protected and fitted with a Buna impeller , making it suitable for use around fuel vapors and in marine environments where safety compliance matters.

The Shurflo Oil Change System

Shurflo's oil change system makes a messy job clean and easy — simply install the oil probe in the engine oil dipstick tube, attach the battery clips, and flip the switch, and oil is safely removed and stored in the easy-to-carry container. Operating on 12 VDC with a flow rate of 3.75 GPM and a maximum liquid temperature of 130°F , the system is well-suited for everything from outboard motors and generators to trucks and agricultural equipment.

A hose kit is included along with a 3-gallon storage container , meaning you have everything needed right out of the box. An 8-foot cable with battery clips and thermal overload protection round out the complete feature set. For best results, oil should be heated to 140°F for maximum pump efficiency.

Shurflo also offers a Drill Pump option — the Shurflo Drill Pump (model 3010-000) features a 1/4" drill shaft and flexible Buna impeller with 8-foot prime capability, designed for oil changes and liquid transfer. This makes it an accessible, low-cost entry point for occasional fluid transfer tasks without needing a dedicated power source.
