Did you ever feel the dipstick would be damaged when pushing the extractor tube? I'm doing the brakes in a few weeks, and to be honest, I look forward to easier coordination. The Lumax has a pneumatic as well as manual pump, which I really liked. However, it doesn't seem to have the expeller...

While I plan for a Stahlbus because of its lower profile, it seems the Fumoto fits well and there is no issue with the swivel plastic tray. So if its closed properly and locked with the tab, then there isn't a way to snag it open. Ofcourse, if something does break the plastic tray, then its...

Well this advive did help today, thank you. I put my Odyssey on the ramps and did an inspection, I did find a few clips missing and the plastic trays hanging. I was in a collision some time ago and the front bumper was replaced, it's likely they have been missing since then. I was able to get...

Have you extracted the ATF fluid via the extractor?

Is it okay to extract ATF fluid this way?

What do you check for? I focus on areas specific to engine oil and transmission - leaks around the pan, the drain plugs, oil filter. I feel claustrophobic and anxious when I get down there - whether the vehicle is on the ramps or jack stands - try to do my work and get out from under the...

Thank you for your resposes. I wasn't sure if this was an equipment or user error. I'm glad I am not the only one with issues using it with a Subaru. I rarely go to dealers anymore unless it's a recall or warranty. To be honest, at $140, I had high hopes of this eliminating my need to open the...

I just got a Lumax 1314 extractor and tried it in for a 2021 Forester Touring's first oil change. I drove around, warmed up the engine, and used the Extractor as directed. I was only able to pull out 2qt., and the manual said the capacity was 4.4qt. I tried all the tubes, and was able to push...

Hi, I am looking to do the change myself in the next few days, and was trying to figure out which to buy. I've typically used the Mobil1 on my Honda, and will be doing it for the first time on the Volvo. I would appreciate any recommendations. I had bought a few bottles at AutoZone a few...

Originally Posted By: JHZR2 I'd probably dope a bit of MMO I to the tank, topped with 1/2 gal of shell premium v-power just to mix it all up. Drive gently/normally until it is all used up. Apply techron, or perhaps better the treatment dose of redline SI-1 or amsoil PI, then after that tank...

Originally Posted By: JC1 I would be concerned that your fuel system isn't gummed up. Did you use fuel stabilizer for that tank of fuel? Have you started up the car regularly or has it been sitting for 2 years? I've never added anything to the fuel, ever. Didn't plan to stop driving, never...

I haven't driven my car for over 2 years. Working on bringing it back on the road, and planning a coolant, ps, atf, engine, brake works. Had a question around fuel. It sat since Sep 09 on a full tank of gas, and over the last few days, is down to half tank. It hasn't really behaved any...

Here is the link from the internet archives, anyone know how to get to it? the link doesn't work. This was around 2003. "On A Different Subject... We have a few people working on a new project. Many have seen the filter report where someone has opened up filters and did a basic full flow filter...

There was a very interesting post regarding oil filters. Bob(?) had created a contraption with a filter, and was measuring the pressure drop across the filter. After a few weeks/months, the project stopped. I was looking for the thread again, any idea where I can find it? I think this was around...
