I just recently bought a 1997 Argo Conquest and need some input on how to change the engine oil without making a big mess.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have a 2003 Conquest and I've always found that using a Glad Freezer bag to drain the oil into works great. Flexible, no mess and contains the oil well during the process.

There are hand suction pumps, Argo sell them but so do many auto stores. Easy to suck the oil out and they are handy when an over fill happens too.

Cut open a washer fluid jug on the bottom side-their is just enough room to slide the jug under the drain under the clutch- big zip loc bags work well too as long as you unscrew the plug enough to remove it by hand so when the bag is under it you can give it a half turn and it's out
