Have you had trouble changing oil?

have not had to change the oil yet and have not had to add oil as it still registeres on the dip stick at the right level.

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

Hey....I have not had to change the oil yet, it's less than two months or so old....I have only used it 3 times now...are you having issues?

No problem. Standard 5w-30 (no mix) is all it takes. I got mine at WalMart. They also sell synthetic 5w-30. I changed the oil after the first 5 hours. Went with synthetic.

No but we have not found that to be a problem. We are currently putting a piece of reynolds wrap on the top so nothing gets in the oil.

Try to look them up online or u can contact the company. They're pretty basic really if u just play with them. If that doesn't work let me know and I'll see if I can help further. My 6 yr oil figured them out faster than I did lol

I'm not sure. I took a gamble replacing mine. My oil pressure gauge was acting up, but I'd just had my instrument cluster rebuilt so I figured it must be the oil pressure sensor. And it was.

I have the same problem. It takes some more cap tightening after the oil leaks. The oil lubricates the threads so if you use more force the leak will stop.

I had the same issue with it, so I just add the oil to the water as well. It's worked great for me so far.

Stick with the spec...this machine is too expensive to screw around with cheap oil.

I have had no trouble and have changed mine multiple. Look closely at you're manual and make sure you're trying the right one.

No, especially if the oil has recently been changed. I used it several months ago. I did notice the engine running smoother and pick up more pronounced. It also helped my engine burn less oil. Mind you, I have a 91 Acura Integra bought new and now has 425K on it! I will soon put her out to pasture. I am awaiting a 2015 Audi S4! ;-)

The Brand of Oil & the Brand of Filter-- has nothing to do with when you change itYou can come on these forums & try to make a case about your preferencesBut are they fact based & what the vehicles motor requiresNothing to do with the manufactures silly recommendationsFollow only that you won't have much to do & will break downThey only suggest less than the bare min

Several factors, what type of oil your using? how many miles on vehicle and the interval of oil changes?

Mine did the same thing. I took it apart and lubricated the mechanism inside with a little bit of 3 in 1 oil. The lubrication helped a lot, and I am able to use it again. It would have been nice if the design of this switch would not have made it so difficult to turn the knob though.

Great purchase! Yes it does. I bought the oil just in case, but don't think I needed it. I topped it off just in case, but I think that hindered the operation. I would suggest using it as it comes, but I don't know how often an oil change is require. I had to buy longer bolts to install, but I got the bolts from lowest for a couple bucks. Just be ready for that.

The advert states, "No tools needed.", but I use an adjustable wrench or pliers for the last little turn - barely more than hand tightening. You are just exchanging the oil pan caps. About half the time, I can't remove the ShureDrain cap and use pliers.
