[QUOTE="SID297, post: 14176177, member: 8858"] I've actually used the vac method many times, on cars that require it. To me it's just adding an necessary step (more labor and cost) to an oil change for a car that does not require it. Not only that, but the Ford dipstick tube is not designed to have the oil extracted out of it like a Mercedes engine. As for your complaint about catching the used oil in a pan then transferring it to another container, what's the difference between doing that and vac'ing it into a jug and transferring it too a container? Unless you're disposing your oil directly from the vac bottle you're not saving a step there. Even if you do recycle it directly from the vac bottle you can do the same thing from a 13 quart Blitz sealable drain pan. Again, nothing saved there. Especially when you consider that you need a drain pan to catch the oil that drains from the filter housing when changing the filter anyway. So the drain pan argument is entirely moot. Also, are you just going to leave the pump an oily mess after you finish? It takes one paper towel and about 23 seconds to wipe up a drain pan. The same can't be said for the hoses on the vac system. Not to mention the added initial investment for the pump system. So lets run this down, you want to use a vaccum system: [LIST] [*]for a car that was never designed for it, [*]that saves no time, [*]that saves no labor, [*]that is more expensive, [*]that potentially has more clean up, [*]that still requires the use of a drain pan, [*]that runs the risk of damaging the car (ever broken a dipstick tube?), [*]and that has a greater potential for leaving dirty oil in the engine? [/LIST] Is that correct? If so, please explain what advantages you see in you proposed oil change method. Also, we expect members to treat each other with respect in the tech forums. If you want to hurl childish insults, make your way over to SD. [/QUOTE]
