Just make sure you release the filter before you start in order to maximize the drainage. I paid about $80 for it. I won't use it again until December.
You are welcome to borrow it if you like. Save the money for something else.
Also, on the matter of the old gas. Canadian Tire has a program for taking back used motor oil and they also take old gas if you put it into something appropriate. At least the service centre at Sheppard and Leslie has taken mine with a nod and a smile. Good old CTC!
Thanks for the offer John but I purchased it and used it, I put back 8 liters and the full mark was not quite reached. So I guess it did a pretty good job.
The kit came with a hose and shut of valve to suck brake fluid when you bleed the brakes and two sizes of extractor hoses. It is made in Taiwan, not mainland China. Hooray for that.
I replaced the filter that was put in by the Chrysler dealer with an identical Mann filter, both #HU 718/5. The Chrysler dealer one had the MB logo and part numbers.
As for the extra O-ring to put on the dip stick, my spare was too big, the one that would have fitted is the smallest in the pack of new ones and there was only one of them.
