ah-kay, that might be a new way to change the oil - plumb a hose from the oil dipstick tube to a collection bottle and send pressurized air into the valve cover vent

That may be an alternate way to 'push' the last drop of oil from the engine as requested in another thread. I personally would not do it as it is not going to work. However, I do use a pump to suck oil thru the dip stick hole. It is fast and convenience. I may not be able to empty it 100% but it does not matter in the grand scheme of thing. There are other things to worry about in life.
