I have a great HF battery operated transfer pump but it won’t pump oil. Anyone know of an inexpensive transfer pump for oil? I have one of those big oil change drains you use under cars on a lift, It has to be more than 10 gallons so I can’t pick it up to take to a recycling place. I’ll fill up a few other things that is manageable when I get a pump. My bowser doesn’t like Harbor Freight this weekend.

I use an old Holley fuel pump to move ATF. Have you tried heating the oil and then moving it with your pump?
I don’t know how I could heat the oil. It’s in a 25 gallon plastic container. I have an Accel fuel pump but it’s a 5/16” line.

By the way, Mario Andretti lives 50 minutes up the road from me in Nazareth PA. His estate is only minutes from NASCAR’s Pocono Raceway. Those that know catch him and his crew at the track Thursdays after September 1st, he’s very generous with his autographs and if you have something of his product line you like signed he’ll let you take a photo (you with him).
 
Grumpy, I don’t see any indication this pump can pump oil. All comments are for spraying, sprayers, water and so on. Have you used this for oil?
