Hi All, I just picked up my first jetboat.

1976 Waikiki 18ft with the 455 olds.

It has a 10Qt oil pan, Edelbrock manifold, new alternator and a 4 barrel Holley Carb.

I got her started, and she ran great, I didn't pay attention when i was revving it, and she revved to 5 grand with no load on accident, I let her idle, and all seemed okay. 

Anyways, wanting to change the oil, the oil filter doesn't seem like it's in a place i can get to it, on the far right side twoards the bottom. I aint trying to pull the motor out for an oil filter.

I bought an oil extractor and i heard heavy weight oil i good for these motors. Any input?

Thanks
-Shawn
