Looks like a nice system and was wondering if anyone has used it?

 

A buddy uses one of these and he is satisfied with it, but fyi it wont suck out all the oil.

 

Thanks, I was told this is the way may high end cars oil is changed....MB techs use this method....just wanted to know if any forum members are using one.

 

my buddy that works on cars a lot said that he wouldnt mind it if he can afford it, so im guessing its good!

no 1st hand experience tho

 

I usually get 8.5 quarts or more out of mine (I dont drain the turbos) using the regular method. That extractor has a maximum of 6 quarts at a time so you might have to empty it and give it another go? The more oil you can extract the better and don't forget the filter (its right on top of the engine and very simple to change using the right tool, torque it at 19lbs after replacing the filter element and "O" ring). Very important to measure what you take out and put back the exact amount or you will overfill it (thats a no no). Good luck.

 

The extractor I posted the link too has a 8 gallon maximum....thanks for the reply
