Coupler for quick disconnect oil change system

摘要

An apparatus and method for retrofitting a vehicle for removing spent oil from an oil pan reservoir by installing the apparatus in an access aperture located in a sidewall of the oil pan reservoir. The apparatus comprises a bent tube, having a widened and flattened first end and a flared second end, engages through the access aperture allowing the flattened end to rest along the oil pan floor. A slidable adapter is mounted on the tube, having one end adaptable for threading into the access aperture and a second end to press fit around the flared end of the tube to form a seal and to prevent rotational movement of the tube. The second end of the adapter is also adaptable for threading into a quick connect nipple.
