Anyone use one. Thinking about getting one so I can stop crawling under my cars to change their 710 fluid.

I’ve looked online, but my results are inconclusive.

I do, I’ve got a Sealey one and it works just fine, but they’re really slow even with warm oil. They’re also not guaranteed to get all of the old oil out, something to bear in mind.

Are you not able to do a drain valve on the pan with a nipple for tubing?

No idea. I have a MK7 GTI, so probably.

The extractor seems less messy, but if it doesn’t work then I can deal with crawling around on the garage floor.

What you should do is take the gasket off of an oil filter, remove yours, then apply the second gasket on top of your filter’s current gasket, then reapply to your engine.

Start your engine, and the 710 fluid will quickly come out of the engine, and help give you a nice rust-preventative coating all over the underside of the vehicle! It may also create an Exxon-Valdez-like environmental disaster.

So that’s what I did on Sunday...

First time I ever assisted in an oil change was on my brothers 89 Cavalier, and we also missed the old gasket, can confirm oil goes everywhere.

yes, and dont .

1. you will never get the entire sump

2. you wont get all the heaviest particles

3. Its easy to break off a piece of the extractor hose if you aren’t careful, which means pulling the sump (ask me how i know!)

4. Just get under there and get it done.

Although then you’ve got some vehicles that are designed for it - to the point that their dipstick tube is airtight, and you can literally just put vacuum on the end of the dipstick tube.

Honestly, if you move the extractor tube around in the pan enough, you’ll get most of it, and it’s not a big deal with a filter change.

I have a Fumoto valve on order (should be delivered today) for my truck. It replaces the drain plug, and then all you have to do is open the valve to drain the pan. Put some tubing on it, and then you can drain directly to a sample cup (if you send stuff off to Blackstone Labs) or to your old oil jugs.

Cost was $24.95 on Amazon

Don’t you still have to crawl under to change the filter?
