Draining oil through dipstick tube?
Can you drain oil through the dipstick tube on a Honda. Just wanted to see if anyone does this. I tried it last night with a Walmart penzoil pump. It didn't work, or the pump is crap. It was on my 95 Acccord F22b2

*Drain* through the dipstick tube? First time I've heard that - thank you!
Years ago I was talking to a girl that *added* oil through the dipstick tube because she didn't know any better. What is wrong with the conventional drain plug at the bottom of your oil pan? 9 times out of 10, removing that plug is fairly effective without any pumps involved.

no you cant, the dipstick tube ends a few inches after the tube hits the block so its not even close to the oil
think of a drink from mc d's with a straw that only goes in the drink 1", how much drink are you going to get?

We use an air-powered fluid evacuator to suck out the oil on aluminum pan cars with messed up drain plugs, works just fine. Gotta love HT.
