I have a circle track oil pan on my SBC. There is no drain plug on the bottom of the pan. I'll either have to drop the pan or find some way to pump the oil out from the top upper side of the pan.

Anyone encountered this? What kind of extraction method did you use?

I don't know about the pan. but I know that you can get the oil out from the dipstick with a siphon. they make one especially for getting oil out, I believe they sell em at Tractor supply. My friend bought one a few weeks ago and we used it on his car, works good as long as you wet the rubber gaskets. :shaking:
 
At this time of year, run the engine to warm the oil so it won't be like syurp.

hahah
I don't really wanna drop the pan this time
 
Drill the pan and weld you a 1/2" x 13 nut on it then go to the parts store and get a 1/2 x13 drain plug with copper gasket. That's the way every aftermarket pan I've had on the various mustangs through the years have been made.
 
Horrible Fright sells an oil extractor that works through the dipstick tube. Kinda pricy for an oil change, but it'll work for auto trannies, any oil pan, etc. I'm sure you'll find another use for it.
