No joking Jordan, Just replaced my defunked VCR with a DVDR and the oil plug will never be removed again from my Westy. Pumping out the dipstick is like using a DVDR, but take your time and figure it out, perhaps by Sunday, Monday or any day of the week. We see time at our own pace. best wishes, gary
