Faster way to get oil in engine during oil change

[gasser]

I was tired of how slow you have to dump oil into that breather hole on oil changes. Found out just placing an A/C vacuum pump hose over the dip stick gives enough suction you can dump oil pretty fast. Doesn't have to be sealed tightly, just over the tip of the tube is good enough it seems.

@gasser: welcome to the board.

Interesting idea on using a vacuum pump during an oil change.

I like this idea. Just can't believe I didn't think of it

Good idea

Im glad someone else had this issue, my engine got a nice oil bath before I figured out to go slow. Oddly enough as I got to the end of dumping the oil in it went down alot faster. The vacuum trick is genius and I will use it on the next oil change.

Even just making sure you pull the dip stick before adding makes all the difference in the world.

I am just glad to hear I am not the only one who spilled oil on the first oil change.
