When it’s time to take your oil sample, you can do it one of two ways: either take the sample when you change the oil, or draw it out through the dipstick with a pump. You can buy a pump from us, or you might be able to find one at a hardware store.

Whichever method you choose, there are a few simple steps to take. If you’d like to watch a video on sampling with a quick-draw pump, click here.

Please click on the type of engine or machine you are sampling, or for more general oil change instructions choose “Oil Changes 101.”
