I've not changed the oil in my 145 yet, but in my 122 and former 1800 I just got length of fuel line and another length of heater hose. Stuff the end of the fuel line in the tranny filler hole and push the other end up into the engine bay. Use a short piece of heater hose to adapt the fuel line to a funnel snout. Pour oil into the funnel while sipping a beer. If you're feeling plucky, wire the funnel to something and drink 2 beers. Anyway, this way you can avoid the pump, which generally means lots of oil running into your armpits. But like I said, I've not done this yet for a 140, so your results may vary.
