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 |

In many boats there isn't enough room between the engine and the bilge to get a drain pan so your choices are drain the oil into the bilge and clean it up later or suck it out of the dipstick. I'd rather jack a car up than clean several quarts of oil out of the bilge. That's why I don't work on boats anymore. So often they're not designed to work on, it's like they're all prototypes.
