Sure does look like the dipstick tubes will work (three hoses of different sizes included). Might even be small enough to suck the gas out of the float bowl before you crack them open. The only thing I can think of is if you have a dropped sump type pan and the dipstick is on the opposite side from the sump I don't know how it would get down to the sump. Maybe it will. But I have a rail type pan, probably like yours, so it will not be an issue. No more jacking up the car to change the oil!!!!!!!!!

I keep thinking of all the uses, fill and drain the brake fluid reservors (mine are a pain to get to under the fender and spills occur), fish tank, clogged sink, what else?????? You know, if you put clean brake fluid in it, attached it to modified caps, you could use the thing to pressure bleed the brakes, or easier yet to vacuum bleed them. No more pump, fill, pump, fill, pump, fill.

It is graduated as well so if what ever you where draining was full, put that much fluid back in it and fill it up. No more puddles of gear oil on the garage floor for me because I put to much gear oil in the funnel!

Can't beleive the price, $53! New and in the box with all the paperwork. Looked like it was dropped shipped from Mityvac.

I went through all these kind of thoughts last night. My wife thought I was nuts. How could I get so stinking excited over a darn evacuator/dispensor? At least when I get excited over a new tool it has some REAL use. She gets the same way over shoes or having her nails done! Women.
