Exclamation Automated Oil Changer?

Any of you guys ever tried something like this?

Just wondering if you guys think it would be a good idea to get one of those or not since I'm guessing it probably wont be able to get all the oil out.

Hi Member..Jim forgot to tell you (no direct sales links) allowed in post's from non paying sponsors...
You can put it in as a non link with out the www and the dot coms tho.

Make sure you read all the posting rules before you posts...THANKS

I've seen other system that suck oil out from the dipstick. Not all that bad an idea. If you want to do that, shop around because this might not be the best kind.

There's a couple cars that don't even have a drain plug, so you have to change oil this way.

You don't get all the oil out anyway by draining, & this probably isn't too much different.

But you still have to remove the oil filter, and THAT's where all the dripping oily mess comes from.

Is the oil filter easily accessible for a 04 accord with a little lift?

V-6 or 4-cyl? It's on the backside of the block of a 4-cyl, near to the right-side shock tower. I never found a way to remove it without dripping oil.

Oil changes have been performed through the dipstick on inboard/outboard engines in boats for years.

It takes 15 minutes or so to change your oil, why not just save your money and just do it the old fashioned way??? You gonna have to change the filter anyways... It would be nice though to have that luxury...
