Vacuum oil sucker/brake bleeding tool

[Adam D]

Hi,

Have any of you guys used one of these widgets before which suck the oil out of sump via the dipstick hole. Was thinking of getting on to do a oil change on the z4 m54 3.0. I know its not as ideal as removing the sump plug but my next main dealer service is not for another 3k miles and the oil is looking rather dirty (I used to change oil every 6 months on my last car - never before have i seen oil this black!). The brake bleeding would also be a bonus!

Any experiences and advice much appreciated.

I never did understand why they did that.

I have one of the dipstick oil suckers and it worked great - on all my old Audis. My Z4 has a 3.0si so I don't need to describe how well it works on that :x
