"The dipstick tube has an enlarged cross section and a formed extension at the top end. On the other side it ends a short distance from the oil pan bottom. Engine oil can be extracted using the dipstick tube.
Note: Inserting tubular probes through the dipstick tube is NOT recommended."

So the tube should be attached at the top part of the dip stick tube?

I did not make decision, but if I buy, I might buy this one. It is a couple of dollars cheaper than MityVac 7201, and is simpler (thus more reliable, I hope).



boneheaddoctor,

Can you drain oil without jacking the car up? I guess it is difficult to remove and install the plastic pannel without jacking the car up.
