Oil change with oil cooler under motor
OK, looking to change my oil, just cant figure out how. The oil coolers are stringer mount under the oil pans and would like to drain the oil from them as well. Any ideas?
Also, I cant suck it out of the dipstick tube because it is too small to fit a suction tube down. Teague cat oil pans btw.
Thanks

If you are determined to suck the oil out just adapt you suction line so it fits over the top of you dip stick tube snug. Regarding the oil in your coolers can you get to the other ends of your lines and blow through to get the majority with the exit hose going into a gallon jug or container. I'm not sure how your lines are routed and if you have oil stats etc. follow your hoses from coolers however they should route to your remote filter mount. With filter off remote mount may also want to zip tie or secure a plastic bag around filter housing also to catch any oil as u blow through hose. With the bag secured around the filter mount U can get away with just removing one line. Get as much as you can however just schedule next change a little sooner to assure your in good shape.

The pump I use has a lot of versatility mounted on a 5 gallon bucket with lid so suction size hose is no Biggy and fits well over top of dipstick tube.
