[C320-list] Oil change

[ericstillwellevans at gmail.com]

Today I successfully used a 3/8 tube like the ones that are used for compression fittings under your sink. 

With a drill bit powered pump oil change took me 20min soup to nuts. Was excellent.

when I tried to insert the copper into the tubing, it was too big to go through the dip stick holder.....Iwas using a 1/4 inch outside diameter......is there a smaller copper tub available......??????

I just changed my oil today using plastic tube and I don't think I got it
all. I wish I had read this yesterday. I agree with Karl K. This is a great
tip.
