Oil changing apparatus including an oil storage tank and a gasoline powered air compressor, both mounted on the bed of a trailer. An oil hose communicates with the storage tank, and connects into a motor being serviced. The drain plugs of motorized equipment serviced by the oil changing apparatus are provided with quick coupling connectors. The oil hose has a cooperating connector at its distal end, which connects to the modified drain plug. The drain plug connector includes a normally closed valve, to retain oil in the sump when the oil hose is not attached thereto. A first air hose enables the air compressor to draw air from the storage tank in the oil drain mode. Oil is removed from the serviced motor by suction. In the purge mode, accumulated old oil is rapidly purged from the tank. A second air hose conducts pressurized air from the compressor to the storage tank, which forces oil from the storage tank when emptying the same. An accessory enables purging an oil filter cartridge with the novel apparatus. The accessory comprises a conduit having a pointed end, a quick coupling connector for attachment to the oil hose, and an integral slide hammer for assisting in piercing the cartridge. The resultant oil changer is mobile, of minimal complexity and cost, built from readily available parts and materials, and is not reliant upon availability of electrical power or sources of compressed air or vacuum.

A powered, mobile oil change apparatus comprising: an oil storage tank having an interior; an air compressor having a suction side and a discharge side, and an internal combustion engine supplying power thereto; an oil conduit having proximal and distal ends, said oil conduit communicating with the interior of said oil storage tank, said proximal end communicating with said interior of said oil storage tank, and said distal end including a first member of a pair of mating, quick coupling connector members; a first air conduit communicating between said oil tank interior and said air compressor suction side, there being a first valve selectively enabling and stopping air flow within said first air conduit; a second air conduit communicating between said air compressor discharge side and said oil tank interior, there being a second valve selectively enabling and stopping air flow within said second air conduit; and a trailer including means for attachment to a tow vehicle, said oil storage tank and said air compressor being supported upon said trailer, whereby said powered, mobile oil change apparatus is selectively operated in an oil draining mode and in an oil tank emptying mode by selecting connection thereof to one of said air compressor suction and discharge sides by operating said first and second valves, and operating said air compressor. An accessory for operably connecting a suction hose fitted with one member of a pair of mating, quick coupling connector members to an oil filter cartridge, comprising: a conduit having a pointed end and a coupling member at an opposite end thereof, said coupling member cooperating with one of said pair of mating, quick coupling connector members, and a slide hammer retained on said accessory, and operable to urge said accessory in the direction of said conduit pointed end.
