Re: Oil Extractor
Where I work has a system built in, for many years Mercedes put the oil filters on top, the dipstick tube went to the bottom of the pan.
There are some small tubing probes we use, they don’t work that good, ok for taking a small amount of hot oil out,
The A dipstick hole is too small to work effectively, the oil would have to be very hot to flow ( for mercedes the hose is about 3/8)
The A oil fill tube has baffles and the dipper tray only has a hole where the dipstick goes through so for the A it is not practical
perhaps if a very thin wall metal tube is used through the dipstick tube along with using thin oil and extraction hot you could eventually drain the pan with a system that creates a high vacuum, but if there are any chunks the probe will clog easily.
