[Vwdiesel] Fwd: SPECIFIC 505.01 5W40

[Hayden Chasteen]

On my 98 Jetta I still have to get under the car to remove the filter so I
haven't been keen on getting an extractor but with the new Passat showing up
in a day or two I have thought about it.  I have also thought about simply
making my own, I have a vacuum pump, and old garden sprayer.  All I would
need would be to get a piece of tubing small enough to go down through the
dipstick hole.  Hayden
