[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 8831, member: 82"] There is no way to remove all the oil i'm afraid. The red colour may just be the colour of the oil. I had a machine that looked like this, the oil was ATF red but the oil was correct. The only way i found to change the oil was using the quick couplers. Run the machine at idle and use your aux hydraulics to push out the oil till it just starts to jitter. Stop the engine and re-fill the tank. Run the machine around a bit, operating the rams to move the new oil around then dump it the same way again. When the oil comes out clean change the filter and you are pretty well set. Like i said earlier, you will never get it all as its caught in tube lines and cylinders. You may get a little air in the system this way but it will self bleed in time. If you really don't want to drain it that way you can remove the hose from the oil reserve, it won't be quite as good but it will also work. [/QUOTE]
