The tube looks thick, or is it just the photo? Do you think it’s narrow enough to fit into cars oil cap to draw a little oil out? I could see myself using it for that in cases I may have overfilled the oil by a little bit.
If it's the same as the model I have (which I think it is judging by the pics) there's a smaller diameter hose you can attach to suck out fluids. In the image, it's coiled inside the thicker tube with the spring on the end (bottom left). I've used it for tranny fluid extraction - slow, but it works.
It may not fit in the dipstick and I don't think using this for oil change gets all the oil out.

I won’t use it to do an oil change or anything, but as long as it can fit into the cap to draw out 1/4 of a litre if it ever gets overfilled, then that’s fine by me.
you'd go through the dipstick, not the oil-fill capTangerined wrote: ↑ You won't be able to get a hose to the oil pan from the oil cap. The valvetrain is in the way...
Yes exactly, he's saying he wanted to go through the oil cap.Richfields wrote: ↑ you'd go through the dipstick, not the oil-fill cap
I use this one
