Maybe I'll make a video one day showing how quick and easy it is to suck out the oil through the dipstick tube. Just two things are needed - a larger syringe and a piece of plastic tubing just the right size to fit inside the dipstick hole and to fit tightly over the syringe's Luer taper tip.Some engines (big one) you can suck the oil out through the dip-stick hole -- ie a Marine Chevy V8, but on the two Civic engines I tried, the same plastic sucking tube was too big a diameter to reach all the way down to the oil. (Might have worked with a smaller diameter tube, + the oil being warm)
