In need of some Help !
 
I decided to buy a mighty vac oil change tool to do my oil changes from now on. FAIL !!! The suction tube is stuck inside the oil pan I've tried 5 hours to get this thing out any suggestions ???

Well that is unacceptable. I've yet to use mine on the 951, but I"ve used it without incident on a Nissan, a BMW, and an old Volvo. I'm assuming you're tried twisting the tube and stuff like that. If you got all the oil out, the only thing I could suggest it that you refill the crankcase. Perhaps some lubricant on the tube will free it...

I tried twisting it & now it broke off ! I now have a small piece of it floating in the oil sump. Hopefully it comes out when I drain the pan.

Good Luck...fingers crossed, but unfortunately, I think an oil pan removal is in the near future, unless you know EXACTLY how long the hose was, there is no telling if it broke in one or more pieces...don't know if I would want to run the risk of a small piece still being lodged in there, breaking up and clogging oil passages/pump or other critical parts. :eek: :(
