I've noticed in several other threads, the mention of topsiders. I'm thinking it's probably something that vacuums the oil out at oil change time. Never heard of them till now. Sounds like a good idea. If that's what it is, what are the pros and cons, and where do you get them?

Topsider Replaced By Liquivac...

Topsider is the old name for the previous product. You can see one in action by going to the DIY section here, and checking out the oil change description complete with pictures. The manufacturer has redesigned the Topsider and remaned it Liquivac. There's a thread going on the Tech Help forum about Topsider care right now. You can also do a search in the archives for Topsider and get several threads pertaining to it.

PartsShop sells the Liquivac right here on the website.
