Picked up the 2002 Jetta this weekend. It was down 2 quarts of oil and suffering from neglect. It only takes 4.2 quarts!
Anyway, after dousing the driveway with oil, I was wondering about a dedicated dipstick pump. My neighbor has a marine pump with a long tube and reservoir that looks pretty slick. I thought I read about it here, but couldn't find it. If it's a good idea, anyone have a favorite brand? Paul |

Paul: These have been around for yrs.I n my younger and dummer yrs. i worked for Gulf on the Ohio Turnpike we used them,(easy to handle hot oil that way) on a 6 qt. oil change we would regularly get 4 gt. out of the engine. Probbly due to not getting to the lowest part of the oil pan. And oil still being held up in the engine. Guess how many qt, coustomer was charged for???? For a 914 I don,t think I would do it ! How many times a yr. do we change oil? The time saved would only be worth it if you have a fleet of cars. Do you?
