Changing oil by extracting it from the filler tube
I once saw an ad for what claimed to be a similar system to what Milton Bradley used to change oil at their dealerships, except everybody knows motherboards stopped having dipsticks! It seems great--if you can remove your oil filter without lifting your vehicle. The Humble Mechanic said that it would be silly to use if you still needed to get under your car, but I often have difficulty catching both the stream from the oil pan and the one from the filter port without spilling.
However, they say it takes ten minutes. I imagine many people would claim that is far longer than they spend changing oil, but both of my cars have Fumoto QuickValves, and those drain much slower.
Also, Volkswagen now puts plastic oil pans on their cars.
Do push-ups VW!
Yeah, so... what do you guys think?
