Oil extraction vs. draining

I'm a noob and looking to do my own oil changes on my Toyota Corolla. I was looking into buying an oil extractor to do the oil change so I wouldn't have to get 

I saw a post on the s4 forum and thought this might be good to have over here. What is your preference when changing the oil - drain through the oil pan bolt or use an extractor? I have never used an extractor and last time i did my oil change on my a4 i used the drain bolt. The extractor seems like a good bet since you don't have to jack the car up and remove all the under panels. The oil fluid capacity on the Touareg TDI engine is 8.3 liters and the oil fluid capacity on the Audi Q7 is 8.2 liters. This is right out of the ELSAWIN manual. The Audi Q7 3.0 engine has an oil baffle which would be the reason you cannot extract the oil. In my opinion, it is easier to extract the oil vs. draining it. Draining out oil traditionally can prove to be time consuming and a bit messy; hence why visits to car garages are becoming more common. Car garages make use of oil extractors that neatly and efficiently drain old oil while charging a good sum of money for it. However, owning an oil extractor at home could save you frequent trips to the repair shops and a little money too. The purpose of this Service Information is to inform dealers that Approved Oil Evacuation Equipment, which is used to extract used engine oil from the engine via the oil dipstick tube, is now available for order. Mercedes-Benz engines are designed to allow the extraction of engine oil from under the hood via the dipstick tube.

On the other side it ends a short distance from the oil pan bottom. Engine oil can be extracted using the dipstick tube. Engine oil drain plugs will continue for the time being, although access to them may only be possible with the removal of engine compartment trim or noise encapsulation panels.

Super good for changing the oil on both my generator and air compressor. These are problems to change the oil conventionally because it's so difficult to drain the oil into a container. Also works great for the lawnmowers. Avoids a mess either by not having to drain them or by not having fuel come out if you otherwise have to tip them. The result here was that I was able to drain out 1,5 dl after extraction. This engine has a capacity of 4,3 ltr so the relative result was a bit better than on the Audi. Used oil being extracted: The rest being drained: 3.5 dl came out: New oil ready: New oil filter inserted: This is one of the best extractors you can find in the market. EXtoil oil extractors come with an extra long pump for evacuation purposes. From its name, it holds a capacity of 6 liters. The extractor also comes with an easy to carry handle along with a flip-down foot pedal for pumping the oil. I think this is a great idea considering it uses vacume pressure to extract oil. Not for the full drain though. I'd use the drain plug, empty it out, THEN use this little tool. I bet it'd suck .1-.2 quarts of oil out after your typical drain. That doesn't sound like much, but It'd bring peace of mind knowing I got ALL of the old oil out. Will

Granted, it takes a period of time to jack up the car and get under and crack the drain plug versus simply popping a hose through the top of the engine, but it takes warm oil about as much time to drain out as it does to pump the oil out, at least in my experience. In terms of cleanliness, that’s a different story. You’re definitely more prone to spillages and dripping when draining than you are when using a pump. the oil fill on most (domestic) cars goes onto the surface of a cylinder head, for the oil to drain through return galleries to the pan. some cars do have a direct to pan filler, or at least to a spot lower on the block. you typically aren't going to get a tube down a little oil gallery.

Draining Engine Oil vs Extracting Engine Oil. I've got a car that requires me to remove 17 screws in order to remove a plate underneath and access the oil plug. I'm considering purchasing an oil pump extractor. For draining engine block sumps, as to whether an extractor is superior to draining depends on the car. On my Jag V12, draining the oil gets about 10 qts out; the extractor can pull out 11. On the new Xj8, the extractor can get 6 qts which should be all that is in the sump - I haven't tried to drain this one yet.
