Jabsco 17820 Oil Changer System

The Jabsco 17820 Oil Changer System is a permanently installed oil management solution engineered for marine and stationary engine applications. Designed for installation in engine rooms, this system eliminates the need for manual oil pan access and reduces spill risk during routine maintenance. Jabsco's oil changer system is ideal for vessel operators, marine technicians, and engine builders who demand clean, efficient fluid extraction without the mess or labor associated with traditional drain procedures.

The system features a factory-fitted manifold assembly with three ball valves that plumb permanently to the engine's oil pan and transmission sump, allowing pressurized or gravity-fed extraction directly from the source. Ball valves provide precise flow control and reliable shutoff, preventing backflow and contamination between extraction cycles. The compact 12 x 8 x 12-inch design and lightweight 10.95-pound profile ensure flexible installation in confined engine rooms while the manifold configuration accommodates both oil and transmission fluid management, simplifying multi-fluid maintenance protocols and reducing downtime.

This system benefits professional marine technicians, fleet operators, and serious enthusiasts who perform regular preventive maintenance on diesel or gasoline engines. Installation requires permanent plumbing integration into existing oil circuits, making it most suitable for vessels undergoing refit or new construction. The Jabsco 17820 is compatible with standard oil extraction pumps and hose assemblies, and its modular valve design allows selective fluid routing—critical for vessels with multiple fuel sources or complex engine configurations. Proper installation ensures compliance with marine environmental standards by containing fluid spillage during service intervals.
