Default where to buy oil dipstick pump

I am going to do what I didn't do on the AE, test the oil on the Z before it has a lot of miles or any HPDEs.
It has almost 4k miles so I'd like to get a baseline from Blackstone Labs.
Blackstone sells this pump
Does anyone know of a similar pump I might buy locally?

Thanks,

John

Most marine stores care some type of pump for pulling oil up the dip stick tube, that because that is the way an inboard motor gets it's oil change. You might also try a Mighty Vac from NAPA or other auto part store. Make sure your engine is warmed up, it makes drawing oil easier.

Looks like the Blackstone pump is set up to pump directly into their sample containers. Less muss and fuss, and no worries about contaminating the sample.

If cost is close I'd go with theirs.

Have a good one,
Mike
