Question. Anyone know a way to drain oil from these areas without removal of pan and side cover ? I'm afraid I know the answer, but, some guys are pretty clever.

jack up the car in the front as high as you can. the dipper tray has an 1"gap at the back between the tray and rear wall of the pan

![]() Hey Pat,, My filler tube isn't that tight. So I can remove & use compressed air to blow the oil out of the dipper tray..I use a piece of bent "metal" tubing to get to all of the dipper area..Don't know about the valve chamber, other than removing the cover Greg out West |

I had faith, I knew you guys were pretty clever. Thanks. I should have switched oil brands and weight when I had the pan and cover off last time.

Tip it up high, so the sediment shifts in the battery and shorts out the plates.
![]() Actually it happened to me on a riding lawn mower, and the battery was only 6 months old. I lifted the front end up about 45* and pulled some grass out of the deck, then set it back down. The mower wouldn't restart and the Interstate battery was junk. ![]() |

If it makes you feel better, pour a quart down the distributor hole, wait a few minutes for it to drain into the dipper tray, then pour another quart in the filler tube, and let it all drain out the pan.
