Embodiment Construction

[0008]As shown in FIG. 1, oil change system 10 includes a housing or manifold 12 (shown with end plate 13 separated). The oil change system 10 includes a reversible pump 14 and an oil filter mount 16 inside housing 12. Top surface 18 of housing 12 includes a bracket 20 adapted to hold an oil container 22.

[0009]The housing 12 further includes a pumping chamber 24 (shown in dashed lines) adapted to receive the pump rotors 26 when plate 13 is fixed to the housing 12 as shown by arrow 15. Opposite the pump rotors on plate 13 is a reversible motor 28 adapted to rotate the rotors 26.

[0010]The housing 12 further includes first and second fluid channels 32 and 34 which lead from opposite sides of the pump chamber 24 to the exterior of the housing 12. A first line 36 attaches to the first fluid connector 60 and leads to a cap 30 having an internal conduit 39 leading to dip tube 40 (see FIG. 3). The cap 30 fixes to the oil container 22 with the tube 40 leading to the bottom of the container. ...

Abstract

A system to change the oil from above the hood includes a reversible motor connected to the oil system, preferably the sump drain. The pump is further connected to a container. The pump initially draws the oil from the oil sump and directs it into an empty container. A full container of oil is then connected to the pump, which is then reversed, pumping the oil new oil into the engine's oil sump. Alternately, the system can be directed to and from the existing oil filter connection.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Typically, the oil from an automobile is changed by removing the plug from the oil sump, which is underneath the automobile. For a do-it-yourselfer, this requires one to go underneath the car, remove the plug from the oil sump and drain the oil. If the filter is also located underneath the engine, this must be removed. This is difficult and often results in spilled oil.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention provides a rapid, simple system to change the oil and optionally the oil filter without going underneath the vehicle. The system includes a base plate or housing and a bottle adapter temporarily coupling a motor oil container with a pump contained in the housing or separately mounted in the vehicle and out to the vehicle equipment's fluid system for the purpose of adding or removing fluid. The housing can also contain additional ports for connecting an oil filter utilizing a special adapter which directs the inlet and outlet from the ...
