Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

When my car was over filled I tried pulling out a quart from the tube but I couldn't actually get it working.

Admittedly this would not get much sludge buildup but then I thought Mobil 1 doesn't have any sludge buildup if you change the oil frequently say every 7 thousand miles.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It would be much easier to replace the oil by just pumping it out the dip stick hole. What are the negatives for this?

POST 2Original post

I think that method would take forever. When my car was over filled I tried pulling out a quart from the tube but I couldn't actually get it working. It never got deep enough andwas getting stuck on something so I don't think it's actually possible. Good luck, stick with tried and true methods. - Steve

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK how about pumping the oil from the oil reservoir tank. Admittedly this would not get much sludge buildup but then I thought Mobil 1 doesn't have any sludge buildup if you change the oil frequently say every 7 thousand miles. Maybe I could alternate with the drain plug standard. Anything to make life easier.

POST 4Original post

I bought an oil evacuator and don't use it any more. If you can get to the bottom of the car OK, the evacuator ends up being a bigger pain to use. Save your money.

POST 5Original post

Some countries do not permit oil to be drained. Politically motivated, not mechanically. Like 20k oil changes. Be glad you can drain and just be sure you let warm oil drain long enuf. I once got tired of waiting for the dribbles to cease and put a beer can underneath. Next morning I had a small mess to clean up. Thank goodness for kitty litter.
