2FAST4U Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) I don't know if you guys read this thread entitled "You already have a vacum pump to change PTU oil" but I think it's the stupidest thread I've read in a long time. ---> The guy who posted this can't be serious… Do you really think that sending all that old oil full possibly full of metal particles into the engine is a safe thing to do?… Think of all the dirt you'll be sending inside your engine, not counting the damage that can be done to the exhaust system's components (foul the catalytic converter and also the oxygen sensors, etc…) I think that writing dumb posts like that is simply giving members here some truly bad advice! If you don't believe me, ask your Ford dealer about doing this and see what they'll say… Edited September 11, 2019 by 2FAST4U 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very likely because what was being said in that post was wrong, misleading and only gave some bad advice simple as that. Claude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used an icemaker hose and the oil was drained several feet before reaching engine. As far as asking a ford dealer, they all say you do not need to change ptu oil for 100,000 miles. Now what is the stupidest post Edited September 11, 2019 by bubbadewsky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now what is the stupidest post It’s a ridiculous idea and an unnecessary risk. You can get an extractor for $25 or just suck on the hose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
