[Public-List] oil change

Just to add another good A-30 idea for "Oil Change" ....

Do not use a Plastic or Rubber hose....Get a metal tube (Steel, 
Aluminum or SS} 3/8 diameter (or what fits your oil Dip Stick 
hole)...from an auto supply dealer. Brake straight hydraulic tubes 
come in several lengths....Cut yours to the required length for 
handling and cut the bottom end to a 30 degree angle.... to have some 
clearance for the oil to flow. Attach a vinyl tube to the tube and to 
the pump. You insert this tube through the Dip Stick port right to 
the bottom of the oil pan.and pump the oils out without any trouble.
Just a piece of cake.
William @ A-30

PS : Brass and Aluminium tube is also available from Hobby 
Stores.....at a fraction of cost from marine stores.  Best 
deal...still is Automobile Hydraulic tubes....they come from 12 
inches to 2-3 feet.
The 30 degree angle is to avoid a perpendicular situation of the 
inserted tube to be 90 degrees to the bottom of the oil pan and 
prevent restricted oil flow. (Vacuum Lock)
