So, Oilburners.... Who else knows about this? And, who else does this when changing their oil/filter?Personally, I've never done it because I never knew this existed...until now.
So, here goes.... I have read somewhere that there is another oil removal location BESIDES the drain plug at the oil pan?
This area, when siphoned properly, supposedly removes ALL the REST of the remaining oil still located and trapped in the oil galIey. It is supposedly located and accessed via a block plug, at just above and behind the water pump?
Anyone else chime in here, as I'm not a mechanic but it seems logical to me that leaving a portion of the old oil, unremoved at every oil change can't help engine longevity and, can only serve to contaminate the new oil, at EVERY new oil and filter change.
This seems like a critical extra step, and without performing this, thereby sabotages the effort and time it takes to do a proper maintenence regime on our diesel engines.
Is it just me or does this make common sense to anyone else, and if so, who else has done this or heard of this, what is your experiences and thoughts?
