That's right, I'm thinking about changing the oil at home... then just drop the car back down and pump the fluid in... it might sound like a lot of work, but it's still a lot less work than putting stands on all 4 corners.

Thanks...
The model I have is shorter and metal I cant find a pic online,but same principal as this one.


This thing rules when its time to drain slushbox tranny fluid in the wifes Honda and friends vehicles. I usaully pop the drain plug as well if the plug is magnetic to clean off any fine shavings. This depend on the vehicle. I've used it to suck out other fluids like a fuel from my weedeater when doing a minor rebuild.
