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 |

pump is the only way of getting it out of my dd. I have a pump that is much simpler than Jon's - looks more like a hand op bilge pump. Slow process but it works and is reasonably clean. My car is designed for pump extraction - can't say if you can get down far enough in the Jetta to get the dregs out. Of course when you change the filter the dregs will find their way out there.
