Hi,
I plan to make/buy a tool to change my engine oil by aspiration. Is there anything on the way of a brass succion tube, like the pickup tube or strainer, to reach the bottom of the alloy oil pan?
Thanks,

Re: oil change aspiration
Yep, same principle. But probably with a electric vacuum pump. I'm becoming lazy with age.benzino wrote:like this: http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/001299.php ?
Yesterday I drove for a test a 6mm brass tube in the dipstick hole and it seems to me that it stumbled against something a bit elastic. So I wonder if it was really in contact with the bottom of the sump. Hence my question in first post.
For this time again I used the old method, but the back begins to age.
As usual, 5W30 + filter. Ready for the mot.
Thanks,

Re: oil change aspiration
if you are serious about making this happen, you are better off trying to go though the crank case breather tube.
I have to say, all the effort in trying to rig something to make this happen you would have had the oil change done already. I doubt that you will be able to get all the oil out of the sump.
you are still going to have to deal with the oil filter. which means that you will have to raise the car up to get a pan under the car.

Old fashion oil/filter change is already done. Next one will be from up.
As I've the 1.6 engine oil filter change is quite easy from top

Not a single remark at yearly MOT inspection today for the 12 years old lady.
Still 34.90€ missing in my wallet.
