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 |

The one pictured is the one I use for my BMW. It gets more oil out than just pulling the drain plug. However. You MUST do it when the oil is hot. Tried to do it when the car was sitting all day and it was a total pain in the ass. Makes it easy because the filter is right on top as well. Howver, I only use this on my BMW. My other cars need to be emptied using the drain plug.
