Oil Change 912

[kitfox2009]

I use a 2 foot piece of flexible plastic (actually sink drain hose from an RV). I cut one end on a angle that allows it to go under the drain plug on the tank and still allows enough space to remove the plug. The hose lays along the firewall with the bottom end coming out in front of the rad. I set a 4 liter motor oil jug ( with the side opened up) on a stool.
I loosen the plug first, then lay hose in, unscrew the plug with fingers and let the plug drop in the hose. It slides down into the jug with the oil. The only messy part is picking the plug out of the jug after the oil is drained away.
One question I have is. How much oil do most people need to replace? Usually I only require 2 liters in order to refill.
I also use a hose clamp on the filter and safety wire to the engine block.

Hi Sly

Yes, I do that as well. I wonder if I let the oil run out here for a while will that give me a "more complete" change. I always plug off the hole while I clean off the magnet. Fortunately, I never find much on the plug!! Usually a little very fine material.
Cheers
