compressed air in draining oil

[XTO]

that's why i prefer DIY for maximum draining interval (naturally). but gas stations done these things before to speed up the draining and wala naman problema but we can also request them not to use compressed air if we want. natural draining for me.

Ok lang siguro kung may moisture trap o air filter. Gaano ba karaming moisture para makaapekto sa performance ng langis? Anyway, better be safe than sorry. Researh pa siguro..

You can ask the mechanic/technician to DRAIN any water (if any) from the compressor tank. Further, you could ask if there is a water filter attached to the outlet end/hose of the air line.

Like some of you i do my own fluid changes. I like changing my oil after a good drive so the oil is hot (BE CAREFUL Not to get BURNED!!! Use gloves or a thick durable bag over your hand and forearm) and flows out better. I`m not a chemical engineer, but thats what i understand.

Come on... just the act of compressing air and then releasing it would make water vapor condense into micro droplets. This is especially true with the big air compressors used in gas stations.

just warm up your engine by letting it idle for a while until the temp gauge has reached "normal" operating temp is good enough to get your oil warm enough to flow better. This also prevents the headers or exhaust manifold from being too hot to work near it to replace the oil filter.

GHOSTHUNTER- I`l probably take your advice on just starting and warming up the car, thanks!


I should probably refrain or not give advice at all to questions any more "technical" than like , "got the tel. no. for so and so shop in banawe.."

I think i`ll just stick to asking questions on this forum instead until the day comes that i become as QUALIFIED as people like you.

SORRY for my POOR advice ghosthunter...I think i`ll refrain or just stop giving advice on "tech" stuff as i`m sure experts like you can come to the rescue. I`l just ask questions instead.

ok gumamit ng air compressor for change oil kung ang hanging nito kung may filter ang labasan ng hangin at syempre kung in good condition pa rin ang filter ng air compressor.

pero pag walang filter sigurado ang binubugang mula sa labasan nito ay may moisture na kapag nagamit mo ito ng walang filter ay puede rin magkaroon ng moist or magka tubig sa loob ng makina mo

This is only good IF you know 100% of the current condition of your air compressor, generally applicable if you have your own home workshop. But in most service stations where half a dozen guys would be working around cars and where the air compressor is just running on automatic all day long with maybe a weekly or bi-monthly check if it's working fine, I would rather play it safe and assume for the worst.
