Does anybody know yet if an oil evacuator works with this engine?

A ton of them here: Amazon.com: oil evacuator

There's nothing special about our engine that would require anything special.

I used a similar one for many years as seen in Modshack's link. First use was with my boat. Due to limited space (boats do not have space to place a oil pan under the engine) necessitated purchasing one! Their are several manual (vacuum) types and several electric types. Some manual types take less time to create a vacumm. At the track, the manual type is likely the only option. Electric ones can be either 12-volt or household power (120 AC).

Some types can be used for bleeding the brake fluid.

Most marine supply stores stock these.

Somebody said that they couldn't get the tube all the way to the bottom of the pan on this engine, (the Infiniti, I think). That's why I was wondering if anybody has tried it yet. I'm not looking forward to crawling under this thing.

Evacuators work fine with this car. It's a straight shot down to the oil pan. Doesn't get much straighter than this.

Btw, you're still going to have to crawl under the car to change the oil filter. There's no getting around that.

semtex, out of curiousity where are you getting your exploded parts views? What manual are they found in? I want!
