    This sounds like an old Mercedes problem: Why even having a dipstick when there isn’t any drain bolt? The Mechanic sucks all the oil from the top using a vacuum. Grime buildup down in the oil pan? Ain’t care! The car will break anyway, once it’s out of warranty.

      Woah… I’d say it’s time for a major modification… I wouldn’t be able to deal with owning something so dumb.

      the vacuum oil change is a standard in watercraft, so its not that revolutionary

      I hated raising my VW Jetta so I would oil change it with a hand pump vacuum, it worked great
