No more crawling under the car to drain your oil. Changing your own oil saves money, but it can also save waiting time and hassle–plus, you know the job is done right. And this is the easiest way to remove your old oil. Unit comes with two different tube sizes, to fit your car’s dipstick tube. After a few pumps to build a vacuum, oil flows from your crankcase into the canister.
If you’re skeptical about extracting oil through the dipstick tube, consider the fact that this is how Mercedes-Benz factory technicians are trained to change oil. A safety float shuts off flow if unit is full. Great for lawn mowers and motorcycles, too.
Capacity: 6.5 liters (about 7 quarts).
Saw this in the SkyMall catalog…en route to Buffalo…
Is this thing really works the way it is? :eekdance:
Price: $64.95
Not bad, considering Synthetic oil change is around $55+ everywhere…
yep I have one for the TDI… 1000 miles a week = oil changes monthly… ill still do one normal change ever once and awhile… and I keep a magnetic drain plug in there… but its nice not having to lift the car for an oil change…
Been using something very similar for 6 years on my boat since it’s impossible to get to the drain plug and even if you could there’s no where to put a drain pan.
I used that one on the Fiero just before pulling the pan so I could see exactly how much it was getting out and was really impressed with how little was left in the pan. It was pretty much completely dry.
But unless you can get to your oil filter from the top of the car it’s pretty pointless on a car. You gotta get under there anyway.
hmm, was just checking prices out for this, as i definitely will be ordering it… and came across another one of their products that piqued my interest…
