Default Overkill is paying several hundred $ for a new rack...
Smart is paying less than $50 to do this periodically.

Default I think the Febi is mineral based. You want synthetic.
Either genuine VAG G20 or Pentosin.

Default Have you never seen one? It's like a big pipette.
But if you use a pipette, you'll be there for a while. Fill the baster up 3 times or so and the reservoir is empty and ready for flushing.

Greatest device for getting fluid out of a small opening.
