draining oil

[CRXDEL501]

just wondering.. what is the easiest and quickest way to drain the oil out of my engine??

Undo the oil cap, then undo the sump plug. Finally undo the oil filter. Replace the sump plug washer and oil filter with new items. Check the thread of your sump plug. If it is damage, replace it with a new one too.

If you have a B or D series, you might be able to syphon it through the dip stick tube. But the risk is there is a step in the sump in another section and your tube can't syphon that out.

Yes, you have to get under the car to access the sump plug. Use jackstands.

ok
i was only looking at getting a little bit out.. wasnt concerned with getting all of it.

what do i look for when trying to find the sump plug?

If you only need a little bit out, try syphoning. But please don't suck the tube using your mouth. The fumes in the sump are nasty!

BTW, if you have to ask where the sump plug is, then please get someone to guide you through in person there. And.... BUY JACKSTANDS! DO NOT GO UNDERNEATH WITH JUST A JACK.

3 or 4 mm over the line.. will it do any damage???

[shadou]

I say you'd be alright, just go burn it off with some good old fashioned fanging.

[CRXDEL501]

That's fine, you don't need to drain. I usually put 5-7mm over the line when going on track.
