I'm looking for any info I can find on this oil changer. Found it in my basement when we bought the house and recently moved it to my garage. Any info such as how old it is, how it was used, etc. would be much appreciated! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=...e=3&theater

It says the three minute way so it may be an air operated unit that sucks the oil out through the dipstick tube. Post pics of the back and inside if you can.

I probably have more information than anyone on this type of equipment, but it does not look familiar. Is there anything on the item, name, model number, patent number, anything?
Give me anything and I can probably identify the item.
Some more pictures might also help.

Looks to be a Lubri-pump. I posted a picture of one on Old Gas on 6 March 2013 on the Sinclair Company of the month thread. It is a cabinet with a pump and motor in it. There were four tubes (on the one I pictured) that were used to remove the old oil from the oil pan I believe. It had an on off switch and operating instructions printed on top. Dad bought it from T Buckles at Columbus Ohio show on year.

Thanks for the replies, everyone! Wes, that sounds like this one. It's blocked by the handle in the picture, but there are 4 fittings for hoses, etc. on the top front of the machine. Also a sight glass in the top.
Anyone have an idea on how old it is?

Couple pictures of mine. Dad bought it from Tom B. at the Columbus show a few years ago. It is a cabinet on two wheels, has a pump and a motor in it and a hose on the back. There are four flex tubes stored on the top front that connected to the hose and were used to pump the oil out of the oil pan.

There is an on/ off switch on the top and a filter.
