Do you have to tip this over to change oil, or is there a spout that opens somewhere to release the oil ?

There is no spout. There is an inside pan which is removable but would have to be tipped over once removed... Most of the home units I have seen with spout developed leaks over time...

There is no convenient spout to drain the oil. In fact you first have to remove the immersion heating assembly by lifting it up and out, then lift out the removable pot containing the oil from the outer housing to be able to pour the oil out.

There is a turn knob that allows one to turn the unit off and on as well as control the amount of oil diffusing. If a person wants a strong concentration of the oil the knob is turned all the way up and vice versa, the oil runs out rapidly when turned all the way up.

Mine didn't come with one and this is the first I'm hearing about a filling funnel. I was wondering if there was an easier way to fill the oil canister. Good question I'm definitely going to research this.

Make sure u have the screen in front of the drain.when u ready to drain the oil. Make sure power is off & the heating element is on upward position & then u can take the screen off and turn the faucet to open position

Yes. It is fitted in the top so when you turn the bottle over the oil drops out instead of pouring out. You can remove it if you prefer to use the squeeze and fill type droppers.

Love this item, makes changing oil very easy. However there isn't a guage to tell how much has been removed. I suppose you could add known quantities and mark the container accordingly.

No, just followed directions, even left gas in the tank, just tip it over to the right side and oil comes right out.

No. Mine came with a spike (pointed tip) and a flat end. Though, I haven't used it for some time, it's never failed me. Just keep an eye on the oil level and tighten the various bolts every once in awhile. It saved me many, many $$ compared to renting and it's great having this kind of tool readily available. Hope all this helps...

No. Even so, it has a tight fit. If you fill the vessel with oil and then push the lid down into its seat, you will get a squirt of oil out the spout. Just saying that it works that well with no plastic or rubber seal. Fill only about 2/3, and then put your finger over the spout as you carefully seat the lid. I like this product for its simplicity and good construction.

Yes, a small cut towards the very top. So only drops will come out. Oil is thick you only need a few drops.

The unit should be turned until it drips oil from the tip. It would be impossible to connect in such a way that "no" air gets in , but it will be negligible. One reader suggests the system be under vacuum. I disagree, as the moment of connection, you will "suck in" air whereas a pressurized system will attempt to "discharge" which should help keep the air entrapped to a negligible amount. Either way is likely ok, but less air is less air and less air is better

Sorry it took so long to answer. The dropper is in the top of the bottle. It's not the traditional dropper attached to the cap that you squeeze to suck the oil. The dropper on the bottle, in my opinion is better. I dropped my open bottle and only a few drops escaped. The eyedropper would've been disastrous. All or most of the oil would've been wasted.

The tip of the spout that is inserted into the base is frosted glass. The mouth of the base is frosted glass. So this does provide some friction to keep it in place while tilting it. But if you were getting down to the last bit of oil in the cruet, you would probably want to just take the spout out instead of trying to turn it upside down.

If you pour gently you are able to get a thin stream of oil. There is a tiny lip on the edge of the spout that helps with control.

Not exactly. There's a screwtop-covered opening from which it is fairly easy to pour. I recently used a small funnel to make this job easier, pouring the used oil into the original jug from whence it came.

Ive only used it in the appropriate way. There is a screw you loosen for oil valve or something so I dont think you'd want to tilt it as the oil might drain out.

You could also use a flexible funnel (or better yet - make one from a plastic soda bottle). Hold it snug against the bottom of the crankcase and guide the oil to a container on the floor.
