Randy, I sample my oil when I am changing the oil. I just fill the bottle from what is drained from the car. If you want to sample without changing the oil, you can crack open the dry sump drain plug and catch enough oil from it to fill the sample bottle.

When you change your oil, just put the container into the stream coming out of the tank. You want it mid-drain if possible so wait a few seconds and then take the sample. Wear gloves...

Shouldn't you take the sample BEFORE the oil goes through the filter. I would think oil taken from the engine case drain plug will give a better indication of contaminants in the oil.

I'm wanting to pull a sample without doing an oil change. I've only driven about 3-4k miles since my last oil change. I wanted to pull a sample to see...well just to see what it says. I wasn't sure of the best place to get a sample. I'll try and go out in the morning for a drive and get one.

The sample is also coming straight from the engine in this manner.
