[W126 Coupe] More oil

[Shayegan, Richard]

Or just replace the lower pan. IIRC it's not too expensive (I may be
needing to do this. I think I got a defective pan as a replacement when
I bottomed out. This one has warped at the bottom and the threads aren't
very good after just 1 year).

Ken, 

Why don't you just get a new drain plug for the pan and use any means
possible short of a torch to remove the old plug? Vise Grips are great
for this type work if the nut is already screwed up.

 

Thanks,

	Got a manual pump to remove oil from the engine via the dipstick
tube on the weekend.  Came from the local boat shop at AU$29.  Effective
but slow.  I managed to get 6.6 litres out before the pump sucked only
air.  My guess is that about a litre of the old oil remained.  Put in
new oil so it's not quite a full change.  I'll have to be satisfied with
that for the present.   
	
	Learned two things.  2  Put the rear wheels higher than the
front to move all oil to front of motor.  2.  Pump out with the oil as
hot as you can handle.
