So, this is my first time trying to use those vaccum oil tube sucking things. I inserted the tube thru the dip stick but now it won't come out.

any suggestions?

i'm pretty close to just dropping the oil pan...anyone have tips/instructions for this?



thanks =(

Got a pic of what the tube stuck in the engine looks like? I'd remove the valve cover and see if it can be removed.

What was wrong with draining the pan with the drain plug?

jeggy

did you pull the valve cover yet? try that fist.

im lazy and its raining....thats why i failed =(



I've inserted almost 2ft of tub'n into the dipstick....

i can't imagine removing the valve cover would help.

jeggy

if you prefer to drop the oil pan... go right ahead.

Well, removing the valve cover is the only way you'll be seeing into the engine without taking it completely apart.

Next time use the drain plug.

oh god drain plug fo sho next time....but right now i'm a bit ****ed =\


So u think removing the valve cover will help? I'm like 2ft of hose in....i'm thinking oil pan is the only way?


is there anything that i could be wrapped around? is it a bad idea to yank super hard?

Take some pics and post them, we can't tell what you are dealing with

i dont' know what to show u?

The engine is what u have but i inserted a plastic tube into the dipstick spot.

there's 2ft of tube inside my car, thru the dip stick spot. the idea is that its like a straw sucking out the oil so lazy dumbasses (like myself) dont' need to get under the car. lesson learned.


can anyone think of any reason why i should yank as hard as possible?

anyone every change the oil pan before?
