Japanese to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial
Japanese term or phrase: 呼び油
In the sentence:
ポンプのプラグをはずして、呼び油（エンジンオイル）をしてください。
Referring to the process of changing engine oil.

I'm pretty sure 呼び油 must refer to draining of the engine oil that is being prevented from draining by the plug that is currently in the pump? But not 100% sure so thought I'd doublecheck, thanks :)

additional oil


Explanation:
When you are pumping out the old engine oi, you can pump it out more thoroughly by adding small amount of engine oil into it. This oil added into the old engine oil is called　呼び油。

Oops! Sorry, Cinefil has answered this question already. You can ignore my answer since I agree with the word, "priming".
