The tube connected to the top of the 7201? I believe it's not designed to be removed. That fitting it seats in has "teeth" that grab it and form a seal. I've had to replace that fitting (due to a leak) but I've never removed the tube from it. When I'm done with the 7201, I remove the dipstick tube from the main tube, cap the dipstick tube on both ends, then put one cap on the end of the main tube and sling it around the body of the 7201 in a neatish fashion.[/quote]

I guess so. I was pushing the blue part in which normally releases the teeth. Anyway, I will pick up some caps tomorrow. Now I can quit carrying it in the box with a trash bag in it. Lol...

And to anyone who doesn't have one yet, you need one.

For anyone with a Civic with an R18 Engine. Removing oil through the dipstick removes nearly every drop. Roughly 3.6-3.7 Quarts with the remaining being in the filter.

I removed the drain plug and just had a slow drip.

Do you guys clean the tank in any way after draining whatever fluid was extracted?

No, I didn't clean the tank after I pumped out the fluid to a recycle container.
