unless you have the patience of Job, I'm gonna say no. did you strip the oil drain bolt? if so, more than likely it can be removed with vice grips or other methods and certainly by dropping the pan and getting a replacement at the pic and pull. that is if you plan on doing this more than once...

There are pumps that will pump it out of the dipstick!

 

Yes, but they only work in situations where the dipstick tube extends all the way to the bottom of the oil pan(such as in boat engines). In the 5SFE, that is definitely not the case.

Or conversely, there are pumps with tiny tubes you could slide down the dipstick tube (to reach the bottom of the pan), but the suction tube is so small as to make if very inefficient and slow.

I'm sure it is possible but the amount of hassle is not worth it. Wasn't made to drain oil from the dip stick, your fighting physics.

Is there a reason why you would want to do it like that? There are people who used a quick drain valve for the drain plug...I've seen a few people post links for it as well.

I have a Mityvac, mostly used for brake bleeding but have used it to lower trans fluid level.

Certainly possible but I don't think you'll get as much crud out of the pan as with a drain plug drain.

 

If it works, I wouldn't care if it was slow, because I would be off doing other things.

 

Possible, cheapa$$ mechanics do it on some hard-to-change European vehicles and leave you with the old filter unchanged too, but I'd drain using the drain plug.

 

On vehicles I've had in the past that did not have a drain plug on the tranny, I would slip a small diameter hose down the dip stick tube and suck out/siphon as much fluid as I could before I removed the pan...less of a mess when one finally removes the pan. It's a slow process and it should work with engine oil.

 

Yes, it's possible, with the right pump. I will suggest the pump I use to flush ATF; you'll just have to get the right adapter for the hose that fits into the filler tube.
On Amazon for $8 at the moment; I paid $12 two years ago. It's advertised for water but many have used it for oils.

Let me guess....your trying to fail an oil consumption test to get a free engine?

 

lol don't they put a sticker or something on the dip stick though?

 

It works on transmissions because the dipstick tube is much larger in diameter than the engine oil tube.

You'd be lucky to fit a piece of vacuum line through there, and it would take an hour or more to suck all the oil out.

 

A friend of mine has a Mercedes that has a bunch of under-body shields to remove to get to the oil drain plug. Takes about an hour to remove 'em all. He got one of these to do oil changes. Yeah, I'm sure it doesn't remove it all.

Not needed for these cars, IMHO.

 

i sure wish the OP would come back and let us know what's up? i'm still trying to figure out why you'd contemplate this on a car that's relatively easy to remove the drain plug.

I would totally do this in the middle of winter when it is nasty, cold and I need to change the oil!

 

Thx for all input. Well well, Im going to use the drain plug

Is it anything new on the milage interval?

1500 mil (not miles) (15000km in My bok)

Using fully syntetic.

 

That's almost 10K miles so I'd go ahead and change it unless it looks really clean.

 

It is common to pump oil out of the dip stick tube on boats, where it is nearly impossible to reach the drain plug. I use the Topsider suction device for my boats and one car, as well as lawn mowers etc. With warm oil it takes about 15 minutes to suck out the 6 quarts from my car. The drain plug on the car is near the front of the engine and if it were jacked up, much of the oil would not drain. I park nose low and easily suck all the oil out.

 

"The drain plug on the car is near the front of the engine?"

what car/engine is this?
i've owned several toyotas and they all had correctly placed plugs that drained the oil when driven up on ramps, front first.

No, it is not a Toyota. It is an obscure German manufacturer called Mercedes. My Toyota can easily be pulled up on ramps to change oil, but the suction device is so easy I might just suck it out in the future.

 

I bought an oil drain vacuum kit on Amazon with a 2.5 gallon tank. Worked fine on the Gen 4. The engine has to be warm
to make the oil easier to remove and that makes the plastic pipe from the tank easy to feed down the dipstick tube. The trick is to get a rough idea of how much you have to insert by measuring against the dipstick. At the end the device will begin to pull air, causing bubbles in the clear tubing. Move the tube up and down a bit to be sure you have all the oil you can reach. You can double check by starting with an empty tank and measuring what you pulled out against what the engine is supposed to hold.

 

I've used this twice to change out older transmission fluid of my 99 Camry for a gradual transmission fluid change. I had the dealer do the separate trans differential. I've had back surgery and crawling under cars and dealing with ramps is literally a pain. This tool is much safer. I haven't had it long enough to try it with an oil change. It will be handy for the assorted mowers, brush whackers, pressure washer and garden tractors that are a pain to drain the oil.

Pneumatic oil extractor - read the reviews and buy a standard air fitting to hook up to your compressor.

ok, makes sense now. it didn't occur to me we were talking about something other than toyotas..
