Thank you for posting the picture with the holes in the drain tube!


I got it apart as much as possible, cleaned out the sludge, pulled the drain line, but couldn't get anything to come out the bottom.


I stared at it and thunk hard about how oil gets out. I was dumbfounded.


Those little holes escaped my attention for a long time. Someone had mentioned them earlier, but I just couldn't figure it out.


Thanks everybody for your help!
