will it work if oil is not warm? My boat does not run currently.

If it's really cold, it may not pull it, just like it barely moves heavier grade oils for diesel engines. Warm the oil pan with an old fashioned floodlight to make it easier.

This product is only meant to work with oil. I would not recommend using this in your cooling system.

If its a water cooled vehicle, then yes. I personally found It didn't work. I hope you have better luck.

mine has a temp reading and I guess when room temp falls below setting temp it will turn on.I would think that it would use more electricity always having to cycle to heat up oil inside it.I just will use low setting at about 7amps

Yes I run mine on 50/50 mix diesel and waste engine oil, or straight heating oil in winter and straight waste motor oil in summer.

No, but you will so it continues to run properly. The directions are clear about this. It's not done often but it will need lubrication.....I don't think it requires HYDRAULIC oil. It will tell you in the directions.......Mike

I don't think it will work. When you heat an oil pan on the car, it heats oil inside closed aria and the worm oil worms the engine. On open aria? Probably not.

It works ok on gas engines, but the oil must be hot. Not much oil left behind. Not recomended for Diesel engines or boat stern drives.

I would give it a try since the viscosity would be similar. My unit could not maintain suction and it took a long time then it was very slow. Running the engine to heat up the oil and thin out the fluid.

I dont think so. but why you need to cool the engine oil? Engine oil is made to handle extreme heat. Just change the oil regularly, then you will be fine. On a side note, this Mishimoto cooler is designed for FLUID, not OIL, so I dont think it will work, since fluid and oil are different in many ways.

Not true. But best to wait until the oil cools down somewhat, otherwise you risk getting hot oil onto your hands.

It should run until all the water/oil mixture has been diffused, and it's much longer than 5 mins. Just make sure you don't fill it past the designated line.

My oiler worked perfectly out of the box, but last time I used it, I don't think the oiler was working well. I didn't have much to saw and made a note to try to clean out the holes, etc for the oiler when I had time. I figured it was just clogged...

I have not had a chance to try it, I bought it to change my oil in my jet ski an cuddy cabin, but with the weather in Tennessee have not had 3 days of good weather so I can dewinterize my boats an change the oil, to put it on the lake. I bought one for my friend an he tried it out on his car, but it did not work on any of his vehicles. So we sent that one back, hopefully the one I have will work on boats or I might be sending it back. Really do not know if it works or not. To be on the safe side I Probaly pay a little more an get one of the hand pumps, that way I know it will have the suction power.

I don't really know but don't see why it wouldn't. It may make the oil thinner is the only thing I can see happening.

Yes it will, it's a single cylinder the rpm will work fine the temp gauge will not due to it being a coolant gauge set up, the speedo will work if set properly you can get a different trail tech that has the oil cooler temp gauge but I still don't see it working due to the engine being so small and having no hoses running off of it

it should not get very hot or smell hot , make sure it matches old motors specs ie. amp draw ,horsepower, & correct voltage & rotation
