Can the sports trac dipstick tube be modded to use a Mity vac.
The Mity vac tubing will not go all the way into the dipstick tube .
I was told that this dip stick will pass in a small slit, can this be drill out to use a Mity Vac?
 
Not sure about ID of V6~4.0L~SOHC EngineOilDipTube or drilling it out for a MityVac suction hose,
but I opted for a simpler solution: installed a Fumoto#f106n with ~1ft of clear 3/8"ID hose.
Makes OilDrain quick+clean as the hose allows draining directly into an old 5qt jug for diposal.
After draining, just close the Fumoto valve & tuck end of drain hose up into a nearby hole in the frame.
Do HandPump ~1qt of ATF from Tranny DipTube & refill; every 6Mths along with EngineOil+Filter change.
